NBs you were asking about clustering Macs. This is not the CERN cluster, but an American copycat. Sounds pretty damn cool IMO.

interesting. I actually stumbled across an article about load balancing and clustering leopard, but now I cant find it. I been working on this so much, maybe I dreamed it...

I like the idea anyway, of being able to expand by just dropping another box in, and poof,  you now have more power. really never gonna happen, because if i was to ever need that level of scalability, I would probably move to mosso or similar, or even just pay rackspace a retarded amount of money to just take care of it for me.

I used to have a beowulf cluster of old PCs I made.

My future plans include making a cluster of machines to work my neural net and solve captcha. Perhaps I'll go with a mac mini cluster, that'd be pretty sweet.

Your plan sounds pretty sweet too!
