I have tried such a solution, but I was running in serveral problems: First, MOSIX-processes cannot migrate to another server if the appl. is using shared memory. Second, if you are connecting to a machine, all the network-traffic is being handled over this machine. F.e., all your window-managers are running on one machine and won't migrate to another one.
I've took a look at the "Linux Virtual Server Project" ( http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org ). Maybe this is a good solution. I think, it is worth to try a combination of te LVS-project and MOSIX... The advantage is, you get _one_ entry-point to your servers, and then the requests will be distributed to a server, and you have _one_ filesystem behind them all. And in a combination with MOSIX, it would be possible, that some processes will migrate to less used servers if it is possible. hth.
