Thanks for the replies everyone! :)
I was afraid that the computers would not be able to handle more than 8 channels of recording which is why I was limiting them that way. How many channels can one computer handle? What kind of specs (ie: processor/RAM) would that computer need? What interfaces can handle more than 8 analog mics? I would need to record about 32 mic inputs.
Also, the OpenMosix would be disabled while recording, and would only be active when in a non-recording mode. Also, this network would be an island. The gigabit ethernet switch would be dedicated to just the audio stuff.
