The VST-per-server implementation might not, but there's no very
compelling reason not to have multiple VSTs in a single server serving
multiple clients. That would be less reliable than a dssi-vst type
service can be, but no less reliable than fst, and it should scale
nearly as well. It's been on my todo list for ages...
