Erm.. If the client uses more bandwidth, where does that bandwidth come
from? It isn't created out of nothing. If the client uses multiple hosts
to increase their traffic then more bandwidth is eaten from those hosts
that would not have been otherwise.
Our load balancing on mirrors is actually pretty darn even according to my
stats, so I'm not too worried about that.
