[Building Sakai] BigBlueButton multiple meetings

[Adrian Fish]

You've got to be careful with that Greek coffee man. Dangerous stuff ...

On a more serious note however ...

You're right. The way to go about this IMHO would be to have one tool 
balancing requests to a cluster of BBB hosts, using the total meetings 
on each as a basic measure of their current load. More sophisticated 
metrics could be added later. We're adding a node to our current BBB 
machine so we'll implement and test this.

Here's a JIRA for it:

Cheers,

Adrian.
