Berny: I didn't intend to suggest that all vms would be on the same physical host. Its easier to discuss the tools needed to make this idea work when you are only dealing with one host. My plan would have been to get it working on one host, and then modify it to spawn off on multiple physical hosts preloaded with the vbox system. Your comments are very valid. Thanks for making sure I was thinking correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
