If there are multiple servers hosting a hidden service using the same private 
key and URL, the one that has announced most recently gets the requests. During 
transitions, there's apparently some network segmentation. At times, different 
clients can be simultaneously hitting different hosts. But it seems to settle 
down after a while. There are some interesting possibilities here, I think.

Subject: [tor-talk] Question about hidden services

 Hey all, I was unable to find this question in the documentation, so I'll ask 
it here. I hope it's the right place. What happens when two servers running TOR 
provide a hidden service using the same private key? Which one will get the 
requests for that service? Will it be distributed randomly, or will there be 
some kind of conflict? Thanks, John
