Yes, probably a bit odd, to want to use network computing... for network computer, but, I just got 7 new blade servers (two or three of which I will keep) that I can add into my server rack over time, right now I already added one in.

I'm wondering if there is any method of setting up seti@home to use computers that are networked together to process the same set/group of tasks (as they seem to come in sets of 11 or so at once). It would be a good way to churn through data even faster, although running separate instances and basically going through double isn't an issue, it would just be cool to set up.

For Seti, no there is no way to do that. It is a project set up to run single tasks on a single piece of hardware only, be it a CPU core or a GPU.

BOINC on the other hand can be used in a Condor Pool. Just not at this project.

Ah darn, oh well, I do run it through BOINC, too bad seti isn't supported yet.
