Review comment:
       there are two scenarios here:
   * broker - server
   * presto - server (afaik this is exposed throught grpc right now)
   
   If we implement application-layer authentication on the server, then we have 
to cover both cases. Right now, only transport layer security is supported via 
SSL certs.
   
   The "cert-based check" mingles transport-layer and application-layer 
authentication. It also inverts the config dependency between servers and 
brokers, i.e. the servers have to know about the brokers' identities. This 
makes it tricky to handle dynamic reconfiguration, e.g. autoscaling. The 
alternative to checking "who I am" is to check "what I have", i.e. a token of 
some sort that can be pre-distributed.
