 > From current implementation, it seems Tahoe picks up servers based on k,
 n and happiness parameters. I am wondering if Tahoe can provide an
 interface or framework to hook up a 3rd party server distribution
 algorithm, which might allow 3rd party to hook up some other determinate
 server distribute algorithms, such as server location or network bandwidth
 as preference?

 for such an interface. Please post on this ticket.
