<TITLE>Scyld on a network</TITLE>

<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Could anyone tell me what the affect of having a cluster that is not isolated in its network but is a part of the entire network for an organization? I have a Scyld Beowulf (at times) in our art lab that could be isolated but is not. I also have quite a few computers that are in other labs that are unused on weekends as the college is closed.Our art lab is switched but the other computer labs are not switched. I would like all of them to be used in a cluster on weekends. Being able to use just a boot floppy make Scyld great for this purpose. Would reverse ARP cause any problem with our other computers? Would there be excess traffic on the LAN when the cluster was running?</FONT></P>
