I read the paper a few years ago when it could only do 32 nodes without specific modifications. What I would like to reach is VMS like process migration. For all I know it could be the same thing. I wish I had to time search this. But suffice that I saw VaxClusters as a very beautiful thing and that was where I started from. That should give some clues. I have started a document detailing it, but I can't reach it now otherwise I would post it here. I will post this in the next days ahead of the release of the new software. The software took longer because I moved to the final phase and it meant some big changes about configuration (for instance there is no GUI in the moment--OK some people please don't get sick trying to control your enthusiasm here ;-) Later it may come back. More will come in about a week, but the short answer to the question is YES. Andy
