How It All Fits Together
The FAFNER servers are hierarchical; root server, plus several major subservers - each in turn has subservers, and so forth.
Subserver depends on its parent for sieving tasks.
The sieving clients (GNFS or GNFSD) are the leaves of the FAFNER tree; they get a single task from a FAFNER server, and then spend time computing the problem.
