One of the biggest problems when working with a large number of users across a terminal server farm is how to keep the servers load balanced.

Some of the traditional ways of achieving load balancing (such as DNS round robin and Network load balancing), dont always work that well, and you can end up with a unbalanced servers, leading to performance issues.

Hiker can be used instead of these methods. You tell it the details about your terminal server farm, and every time a user want to connect to a server send them to the one with the least amount of users.

If they already have any sessions open it will re-direct them back to that session, or offer them a list if more than one active session is found.
