What you need is a batch system.
There are 2 free batch systems, SGE and PBS.
Both of them are opensource, but nevertheless, you can
get 7x24 support if you are willing to pay.
PBS: www.openpbs.com
www.pbspro.com
SGE: www.sun.com/gridware
gridengine.sunsource.net
Also, SGE has qmake, which can execute several
instances of make on mutliple machines for one single
make job.
