Well, I don't have an Alpha (yet), but the word on the street is that you can
cluster VAX and Alpha. 'and anonymous official from our favorite computer
company" said that it would work, it just was 'not supported'. 

Does anyone have a mixed cluster working? (Or aren't you allowed to say?)
Letting us know that you are not allowed to say, will of course tell us that
it works :) 

Other options are said to be DFS and DQS. Any comments?

Of course if all of this wrong, please say so! (before I start wading in the 
deep do-do!)
