What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
Allow the client to connect to a console, and have the underlying network
connection automagically routed to the appropriate server managing that console.
What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
This would increase scalability by allowing the server load for a large number
of consoles to be distributed across several nodes in a manner that is
transparent to the client.
Please provide any additional information below.

I would like to be able to set it up so that running "conman node1"
actually contacts another server running conman and opens the
console that way.

Note that this complicates broadcast sessions. Are broadcasts to multiple
consoles restricted to those managed by a single server, or can broadcasts span
multiple servers? If the latter, what happens to a client's broadcast session
if one of the connected servers stops responding? And then what happens
if/when the connection to this server is re-established?
