Would it be a good idea and/or useful to anyone to create a setup which has several computers running the same server software which share jobs, much like a multi-core processor? You would be able to assign jobs to certain "cores" and such. I only ask because I have no use for more than one computer running x server, but I don't know if anyone else runs programs big/resource-consuming enough that one computer isn't enough. Anyone?

I think this would be possible. But to make a good system, you have to think about a lot of things.
If just 1 Computer assign's the job's, the computer system will be vunable, as like as every other computer(Alone).
You have to make multiple Computer's answering, For that, you should use broadcast. If you use broadcast, you have to make white-list, and tons of things, so no-one can send message to the client, who should not.
Theoreticly this would be possible (And not so hard to do :ph34r:/>/>). But to preserve hacking this system, you have to do that mutch things… Realy hard to code.
I hope, this helps.

Yes, it will be like a real server, with multiple layers of protection. I just decided that I wanted to work on it, but I can't really make the programs without a purpose. Of course, I could just make an API…
