Has information security reached the point at which old is new? InfoSec and network researchers have been analyzing backscatter since the late 90s. If it's useful that's great but, calling it new and innovative is inaccurate.
As suggested, take a look at http://aws.amazon.com/hpc/getting-started/. If nothing else, it gives you an option that's faster to implement, reduces CAPEX, and doesn't leave you with physical infrastructure that is immediately depreciating and becoming "obsolete".
OMG, the source of all bad code has been discovered! The Bible clearly has no mention of computer science or programming. I haven't seen one passage written in binary or hex. Clearly, God did not intend for us to advance in this direction:-)
There are natural limits to our ability to instrument and reproduce cause and effect at a global scale. This seems to suggest that because that limitation exists we should err on the side of making a few bucks rather than objectively considering the massive amounts of smaller scale scientific evidence that can be correlated, if not completely proven as a whole. If you can't absolutely prove today that there will be a consequence tomorrow, it must not be true... right?
As a whole, capitalism and commercialization are good and beneficial to all. The adage, "the market will right itself" is largely true. But, sometimes the negative impacts which result before the market self-adjusts are irreversible or out of proportion to the assumed benefits. That is why regulatory bodies exist.
Andover didn't fsck with it. VA Linux/Sourceforge didn't fsck with it. Don't fsck with/.! It's a community driven site, don't treat it like it's a "property". We know that there's a commercial interest behind the scenes but, if you treat it like a property rather than a community site, chasing eyeballs with design and content changes, that will affect the COMMUNITY upon which it is built. Leave well alone. Make your ad revenue and pander to the InfoWorld crowd with something else. Geeks are fickle beasts.
Cold Fusion has built-in functionality which allows for the querying of LDAP directories. How you input the username/password to the application server is up to you. It is possible to use a form, Basic authentication, NT Challenge/Response, etc. I'm pretty sure that PHP has an LDAP interface as well. I have authentication/management interfaces in place which query a Novell NDS directory, via its LDAP interface, using CF. The upcoming version 4.5 permits the use of SLDAP which was previously not possible due to a reliance on MS's WinInet dynamic library.
What sort of bad experiences did you have with Cold Fusion? Has the product itself let you down or are you just speaking of its failover capability? Have you used the ClusterCats software included with the 'enterprise' version? Sebo

Have you considered using a VDI platform, using cheap zero clients to drive the KVM devices?

First. Lame, I know.
