[Rubycocoa-talk] Ruby my xgrid?

[Tim P. <he...@ti...>]

Hey Chaps

Im currently looking at conducting something where I am going to  
either 2 or 3 xserves in place, doing some "processing". As the 2nd  
or 3rd server would be for DR purposes, I then got to thinking that  
it maybe I could tie them all together with Xgrid, meaning in a DR  
scenario all you would need do is change the controller node to  
another box and away you go? Ive never done anything with XGrid  
before so ive no idea about it really, but as its for "distributed  
processing" according to apple, sounds like it might be just what im  
after - an easy and scalable way to conduct my processing  
requirements (and handily helping with the DR)

Has anyone on this list done RubyCocoa/XGrid work? In theory there  
shouldn't be any problems going over the bridge for xgrid tasks? This  
is all very speculative so any help would be great.

Cheers

Tim
