With many wiki farms it would be nice to use

An example would be
http://wikitravel.org/
I know that site. I also had my own similar farm with path-based
interlanguage links.
It is not a wanted feature for the WMF cluster which
wants to redirect
some languages/projects pairs to different clusters.
hi.wikipedia.org (Hindi), could be made to points to an Indian Cluster
ja.wikipedia.org (Japanese) ... to an Asian cluster.
So we actually want different domains :b
Is a cluster redirect for URI path ever possible? If so, how much slower
would it work? Ordinary load balancing should work for one DNS-name
small sites. I never know the implications of running huge Wikipedia.
One domain has one advantage, usually the bigger the site is, the higher
ranks it has (of course, in case the information is not junk). I guess
Wikipedia counts not like small sities.
Using action names instead of /wiki/ also is a great idea. /wiki/ looks
a bit redundant.
