[Dxspider-support] Grid info passing through nodes?

[Wayne]

Thanks Kjell, Ian, and Dirk for the information.
I did not copy over the original Spider tree as this wasn't practical at 
the time.

I guess it was a little disconcerting to see the information appended to 
spots from our neighboring nodes and not seeing that information on our 
node from the same pc11 spot.

For what ever reason, when first starting the cluster and setting 
dxgrid, there seemed to be more grids than after a few days running. 
Just coincidence?

Danny was asking about this also so I hope he's kept up with this thread.

Dirk, is it practical to get a user.asc file from a partner node, and 
rebuilding our information from that? Or is this more trouble than it's 
worth?

Thanks again all for your help....
