Thanks for your reply Stefan, We want OSG to run on multiple workstations, maybe in a master/ 1..N slave configuration (if that's possible). I haven't even looked at Equalizers code yet - I'm trying to assess the feasibility in regards to time and effort in getting OSG up and running on a cluster. Chromium does not yet support OpenGL 2.0 so is useless to us, I think working with Equalizer on this effort may be easier than adding extensions to Chromium.
I don't suppose there are any examples of implementing automatic data distribution?
