[cod] Multi-server 1 install, different mods

[Lestat]

Hi,

Is it no problem when 2 or more server read the same file (pak or hl-files)?
I mean when 2 serveur load the same map or maps into the same pak?
Thats will not make HD troubles by 2 process reading the same file or it's
the same (or better) that reading 2 different files at the same time?
So if thats make no difference symlinks is more pratical of course especialy
for update, install and backup...

Lestat
