Ok...what about this? Is it possible to restrict the cluster to servers
only? That way you don't transmit the Xserver stuff over the network to
and from the clients thus possibly messing with bandwidth. Can we simply
build a server cluster that balnces among itself...leaving the client
processors out of it?
