Ive only ever used it in a multi server scenario once - wehere we submitted
jobs to SAP app servers. I have mostly used it in single server scenario

Thats pretty much it in a nutshell. There really is no overhead er...
Limited and you can submit jobs to manager queues.  If you are adverse to
using this, you could also use cups or any print server as a job submission
queue. Any one that will run scripts as a backend anyway. Ive done this a
few times in AIX.  Sounds hokey, but quite effective. You can use cron to
bring certain queues up and down at certain times - and just let the jobs
pile up. My suggestion: use Torque.
