I might be reading more into his words than was intended, but I think this demonstrates the problem. Distributing multiple requests for one section across multiple servers is (what I consider to be) undesirable.
You can actually do it either way. Curtis (AIUI) complained that the method described meant your site depended upon each of th esection's servers being up, that there was no redundancy. So I described a way of doing it with redundancy.
What you described doesn't scale up to having 1000's of sections (which I was assuming, and I think Curtis was too). If this isn't a problem, then your solution is great.
