Sounds like fun. Check out VA Linux's dual CPU boxes. They also
offer fast LVD SCSI drives which can be raided together. I've got one
dual P3-700 w/ dual 10k LVD drives. FAST!
I'd suggest staying away from NFS for performance reasons. I think
there is a better replacement out there ('coda' or something?). NFS
will work, but I don't think it's what you want. You could also try
connecting the machines through SCSI if you want to share files
quickly (I haven't done this, but have heard of it).
Good luck!
