   \class NICProberServerToServer
   \author Scott Nykl

   All connections between server clusters are called ConnServerClusters. Each
   ConnServerCluster has exactly 2 end points. One of these end points is
   contained as a connection within a NICListenerServerToServer. The other end point
   is contained as a connection within a NICProberServerToServer. That is, each
   NICListenerServerToServer is associated with one or more NICProberServerToServer
   NICs, and each NICProberServerToServer is associated with exactly one
   NICListenerServerToServer.
   
   The NICProberServerToServer is responsible for seeking out neighboring server
   clusters. If a cluster farm has N nodes, each cluster server should instantiate
   N-1 of these interfaces; that is, one instance to directly connect to this server
   cluster to each of the other server clusters within the cluster farm.

   Once the connection is established, the user will most likely only ever access
   the ConnServerCluster instances contained within this interfaces connection
   list. Because all NICProberServerToServer NICs have exactly one connection, the
   first element in the connection list will always contain the corresponding
   ConnServerCluster instance.
