Regarding process migration, Locus "Transparent Network Computing" (TNC) does this using a virtual-process layer analogous to the vnode layer in file systems. TNC does it dynamically using an RPC mechanism. It _is_ a complex problem, particularly when you have to handle things like shared semaphores, locked files, etc., ad nauseum. There were a couple of white papers written on the subject a few years ago. If there's sufficient interest I'll see if I can dig them up. There may also be references on the Locus Web page, http://www.locus.com/. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com
