Let me add that with hindsight I think this is the right decision.
Yes, with Hunchentoot you /can/ have multiple servers, but I don't
think it makes sense to view Hunchentoot as a content-agnostic
workhorse like Apache.  I prefer to view it as a building block for
creating application servers, and if you have more than one server in
the same image, I think it is very likely that what these servers
serve will be related.  Thus, a global dispatch table makes sense to
me.  If it doesn't make sense to you, there's *META-DISPATCHER*, as I
said.

Cheers,
Edi.
