... What? How is that related to the question he's asking? :p

Pedro: I don't have any suggestions on storing tiles across multiple machines.
One of the things I Know people have done before is given multiple machines
different DNS names, and then used deterministic round-robin (like the tile 
generation in OpenLayers) -- then, each server only gets some of the requests
(where 'some' is the number of servers you have in the round robin).
