ez ( trivial ) to write one in perl 
	- day or two or 1hr 
	- 1/2 day or two for "html based job submit app for the user"

Servers.Available 
	- list of servers

Servers.BZ
	- jobs that its running

Servers.incoming
	- jobs are submitted into the file

Master
	- all jobs are submitted to "Master"
	- job peferences for specific servers to be sent out to it
	- check for the specific server to be available, otherwise
	  send to next one on the list
	  and lock that server if only one job per server is allowed
	- your normal alerts and put the server back into "available"
	- wait for next job

- what if the master dies... each servers watches over each other
- other fun stuff, shared disk space or not and job locks
