It says that if there are too many relays it would make NOSTRs usability bad, because clients would have to establish too many SSL connections (the 's' in https).
Is it possible to set up some sort of relay, that is in fact a load balancer of some kind that will serve as an SSL termination point?
Then you could in theory have a way to reduce the amount of SSL certificates?
I don't think I fully understand how termination works yet. It might only work for multiple instances of a single relay. Plus a bunch of other complications I am not aware of.
Plus it would be a point of failure if relays forwent having their own SSL certs.
