Our case is similar to what Jeff and Joseph already described. I wrote a script that splits the testsuite directories in equal-sized chunks and ships them off to different machines. Each machine generates its site.exp file, and executes runtest with the list of files. This has exposed a few problems with the testsuite. There are implied dependencies that some directories have on others (e.g., using other directories header files) and the multi-files tests are not explicit about it. So, you may end up sending files needed in the same test to different machines. Diego.
