+Q: What is a metaserver? Do I need to run one?
+A: A metaserver is a small server that attempts to provide load balancing
+ to a cluster of linked OpenNap servers. You give it a list of all the
+ servers in your cluster, and it will cycle through the list each time
+ a connection is made. Originally, the Napster client would connect to
+ the metaserver to find out which Napster server to connect to.
+ However, most clients these days just have support for a list of
+ servers to connect directly to, totally ignoring the metaserver.
+ Hence, running a metaserver is NOT required.
