Would it be remotely possible to designate one simple script, on one central server, to be the arbiter? A process would, let us say, open a socket connection to this script, wait to read one byte from it, do its work and then close the socket. This one script could be an efficient traffic cop for the whole procedure since it would be in the position to know everything that is going on. I can’t quote an implementation off the top of my head, but I am sure there must be such a thing.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
