RE: rhn_register / up2date hacking

you could use lvs for multiple servers, or if you had the money and resources use an alteon load balancer, with lvs you could just have one of the current servers be the load balancer to 1 other or a few other current servers, and load balance by wieght or round robin.....just an idea

	I've generally not wanted to modify the clients.
	
	As a (large) side project, I'd change my mind if someone could figure
	out how to teach the client how to access multiple servers (a la
	apt-get)
	
	The only modifications I do here are config files and the attached
	rhnreg_ks.
	
	rhnreg_ks is a command line version of rhn_register, and this version
	has been modified with a --anon option that
	
	<wait for it>
	
	anonymously registers you against a current server. Since thats the only
	mode we support at this moment, it saves all that useless typing.
	
	This is a modified rhnreg_ks from 2.7.11, but I can't imagine why it
	wouldn't work with a 2.7.6x version of up2date.
