hello damien,

what you mean with hidden servers? its  a peer2peer thingy
in the  upcomming  server"tiger"version 
<http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/tiger/>
there  will be  an "ichat" server and  the  using  the  "jabber" 
protokoll:

"You can now host your own iChat server. Instant Messaging serves as a 
vital means of communication for organizations of all sizes, so it’s 
useful to deploy and run your own private and secure IM server. Based 
on the open source Jabber project, the new iChat server in Tiger Server 
lets your company protect its internal communications by defining its 
own namespace, using SSL/TLS encryption to ensure privacy, and Kerboros 
for authorization. The iChat server works with both the iChat client in 
Mac OS X Tiger and popular open source clients available for Windows, 
Linux and even PDAs."


regards

marc

Hello,

Nope, the MCU is also external in the case of Apple or no user would be
able to use their system. Even with powerful codecs, you would explode
your bandwidth, so Apple is definitely providing external servers for
that, they are just "hidden" and automatically used when required, while
in GM, you have to ask all your participants to join the MCU manually.
