Hi,

I'm planning a cluster for the computer science institut I'm 
working for, then collecting as much information on beowulf as 
available, and first-time poster to this list. 

It looks like using NFS is a great administrator time saver, 
but comes with a high network finger print.

Did someone tried to use 2 NICs per node configured so that :
1/ first is dedicated to interprocessor communication, while 
2/ second is used for NFS, DB calls, ...

Is this idea already known as bad/good one ?
