so far: every webserver needs to have access to all files. if it's
split, a server only needs access to some files. files are on file
servers. so far: every webserver connected to every fileserver. after
split: less 'competition' per wire.
They didn't say they wanted to do it like this 100% and over, it was
an IDEA that they would have liked to test.
