Easiest distributed editing architecture: There is main server and other servers
Every server handle read request itself. On all servers 'edit this page' links point to main server. Main server sends all changes to all subscribed servers, so they are always up to date.
This won't require many changes in design, while may allow reasonable distribution of load.
But, there's no problem with load right now, and I stand ready to supply whatever hardware we need here. In this way, we don't have to deal with complex distribution schemes.
