I've overextended some functionality to have a notebook cluster. By exporting the directory that sage is running in (and /tmp/ since 4.2), and using the functionality of the server_pool variable. Processes for different notebook users are distributed to the compute nodes. It's slowed down since 4.2, but it still works for a class of 30 students. I'm guessing that this isn't what you were asking, but it's one way to get up to a class full of students without buying a better machine with enough RAM and cores to handle that many students.
