+    < frhodes> how can I replace an existing running server with a new one
+      without rebooting?
+    < antrik> frhodes: depends. if other critical things depend on it, you
+      can't. there is no mechanism to serialize and pass on the open sessions
+    < antrik> in some situations, you can orphan the old translator while
+      starting a new one, so the previous clients will stay with the old one
+      while new one will get the new one
+    < antrik> obviously that only works for things that aren't exclusive by
+      nature
+    < antrik> in some cases, you might even be able simply to remove the old
+      translator... but obviously only for non-critical stuff :-)
