Also check http://openssi.org/cgi-bin/view?page=openssi.html for
Single System Image cluster. This is similar to the HP
(Digital/Compaq) Tru64 cluster architecture where you have a single
root filesystem for the cluster.

Any node dependant config files are created through CDSL links
(context dependant symbolic links).
