But keep in mind, in clustering over Ethernet, the "L" in "LAVC" stands for "Local". ;) I really don't see it working well at all, but that's based on having done it locally, not from actually trying it on a WAN. I have access to systems with lots of bandwidth, they just implement a bit of MAC filtering and have limited IPs. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
