Not exactly the right math.. because the traffic increases on a single 
client only if you introduce a new storage node (so it has to copy the file 
to additional server). There is no traffic increase on other clients if you 
add more clients (just the storage nodes get pounded)

Too bad that the "option replicate" was taken out from AFR translator (but 
probably there are some workarounds with Switch Scheduler)  - that way you 
could keep the traffic at the same level even in case of a lot of storage 
nodes because you could specify to make only limited number of copies (like 
2 or 3) and not push the file to all nodes.


Still as to HA we have to wait to 1.4 :)
