[Tux4kids-discuss] [Tuxmath-devel] Question regarding server

Hey Aviral,

Man, have I been out of the loop. I'm trying to understand here...we want to
run multiple instances of the server on a single machine? Or does this
involve the client connecting to more than one server?

In any case, it sounds like there's some good stuff happening :)

Best,
Brendan
