Skip, do you do AIM or similar? Maybe we should chat ... The first step I recommend is to be clear on the benefits you're targetting. For you, is clustering about A. HPC B. reliability C. server consolidation D. manageability ...? My answer, therefore: it depends. There *is* good writing on clustering, but I've ignored it for over a year, and before I catch up, I'd want to have a clear notion of your goals. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
