[mapguide-users] Load balancing and RFC3

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

I'm not sure it will work:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc42

"This RFC removes existing functionality. However, site and support 
servers were difficult to configure and it is unlikely that this 
functionality is currently in use. It will still be possible to turn off 
unnecessary services by directly editing serverconfig.ini."
