If you're running them as a LAVC (Local Area
VAXCluster, used
to be any cluster using Ethernet instead of CI) then this was
done all the time and I'm sure still is. They probably
haven't called them LAVC's for years and years, though.
Which reminds me, when the extension to ethernet clusters was
first cooked up they were going to call it Local Area Vaxcluster,
and obviously shorten it to LAV. Luckily someone in the UK
suggested that "I'm just setting up a JOHN" is how it would
get parsed over here and the name sprouted a new capital
letter.
Now back to weird ways of reducing MicroVAX performance ...
