This is a follow up on using Tomcat 6 and the CometProcessor interface:

A. From Kris Zyp's post on [http://cometdaily.com/2007/12/10/comet-gazing-scaling/ ], with the Tomcat CometProcessor, connections and threads are decoupled, so that the number of connections can can scale independently of the number of threads. Schmidt/Javaloggy [http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/ t92965.html -- 4/5/07] cites tests by Filip Hanik scaling from 1000 --> 16,000 connections, but some of the comments (#8, MikeP) were less than enthusiastic, suggesting that maybe not all 16000 were properly served.
    That's a year old.  Is there any more up-to-date info available?

Are there any production examples of the Tomcat 6 comet processor scaling at least this far,
    if not up into the 10's of 1,000's ??

B. Zyp [http://cometdaily.com/2007/12/10/comet-gazing-scaling/] states "... the difficulty of horizontally scaling... implementing a publish/subscribe type Comet mechanism on Tomcat that scales efficiently across multiple machines would require significant effort to properly route and
    distribute messages effectively."

Again, that's a year old What is the status on this? Our target is to run in a cluster.

C. Besides the chat pseudo-code at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/aio.html , are there other available examples?
