Ask a vague question, get a vague answer. You could easily build a (clunky, inefficient) distributed computing interface using multiple CF machines and, say, the CFHTTP tag to have one machine send parts of a problem to the others. But CF is the last thing I'd want to use for that, myself. > The goal of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is totally different from what I'd > like to achieve with the subject matter.

No, I don't think it is - what you're describing certainly falls within the realm of distributed computing, and doesn't sound that different from [EMAIL PROTECTED] or distributed.net. On a more easily approached level for us CF programmers, SQL Server 2000 allows you to create "federated servers", which can cooperate in building a recordset using distributed partitioned views.
