I don't know what you are using the sched/wiki for, but the perlapi should work 
just fine.  You might consider using the priority/multifactor plugin for your 
priority calculation along with the sched/backfill if you are using something 
else today.

In any case the multi cluster stuff should work fine for most cases.  I am 
interested what you are using sched/wiki for though.
