I *think*, not 100% sure, but I believe you could have multiple
trackers, hosted by different systems, but the problem is that you'll
split your clients between them and they won't talk to each other even
though they potentially could. Also, if one of the trackers went down
the clients using it would also go down (or at least, the stream from
that tracker would).
