Steven:
I agree with the concept of clustering the backend, the servers. If a
servers gets powered off, you have bigger things to worry about then lost
client processes, as I like to say.
That's an interesting idea of forcing migrating processes to the user's box
that owns them. It would probably defeat the load-balancing that we're
after in the first place though. The auto-migration factor and full
utilization of availabe resources is what makes it truly useful, IMO.
But it always comes back to--if a client's box drops with processes running
from the server...
