another update, i finally registered downloaded and installed maui, figured out my dyndns update issue on the router and forwarded 22 to the master node (the router runs an ips and a block all by default policy, the box runs iptables that only allows 22 and icmp through from the outside)... i think i covered security fairly well...
Now its only a matter of figuring out the configuration of the batch job manager, openmpi etc, etc, what needs to be installed on the nodes, testing it with the one node and finally throwing more nodes on

should be done in the next couple of days...
