[GLLUG] good to be back

[Melson, Paul]

Sounds like we're on the same wavelength.  "Dual-homed" is just another
way of saying that a machine has 2 NICs on different logical networks.

I think this is close to what im thinking. Im not sure what you mean by
dual-homed, but i plan on having a completely seperate switch for the
cluster traffic.  so it would be something like  

    Outside LAN -> Head Node (2 nic's) -> switch -> slave nodes

thanks for the help its been greatly appreciated.
