Could you help me ifind out the best way to do so. MPICH is completely setup and runs perfect for C based applications like PI calculation etc. The basic problem that I face with MPICH is that it requires all the clients to run Dansguardian. It itself uses CPU heavily when requests come in from many clients when they access the proxy. Then when one is running the process seperately on all the nodes it is difficult. This is one problem. The second is that, when I start it on the server instead of running on all the nodes, it only runs on only one first free node it comes across(normally the first in list)and doesn't run on any either at that time or in future. There is NIL load balancing over the network. What I need is one Dansguardian software running on one machine and that load being shared by other nodes in the network. Something like an SSI cluster. But this is easily done in Linux. But the production machine is live and active on FreeBSD and it does many other services as well. If this Dansguardian could be set apart through clustering for the FreeBSD it would be really a gr8 help. Could anyone help me out with this? :-( Thank you in advance... With Regards Bejoy
