Cluster of Subclusters with private networks

[Doug Farley]

Alex,
The first thing that comes to mind to me when I read this description is 
that you want to make a small grid...
I've just started to use: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ Sun's Grid 
Engine, its not to bad to setup, and with a scheduler like Maui 
http://supercluster.org/maui/ with it, its does do distributed jobs between 
multiple clusters, and should handle your setup.
I HTH some.
