I came to the same conclusion, with the exception that a lookahead for a
collision would be helpful in the client. If they use the same physics
engine and the client does no more than implement a collision check, I
think it could be a good thing. I'm looking at several free physics
engines atm and thought I would clear my thinking up some. Collisions
with soft bodies deform the collision mesh itself so yeah it gets a
little tricky when you split them.
