Can you confirm I understood you?

  1. You have an input file that list 1000s of machines to be queried for some information.

    How many thousands?

  2. You want to conduct multiple queries concurrently.

    What type of query mechanism? (http,ftp,ssh?)

    How many concurrent queries? (and the proxy handle the throughput?)

    How long do the responses take (on average?)

  3. The results from each query are multiple lines.

    How many lines per machine?

  4. You want all the results in a single output file.
  5. You want the multiple lines all grouped together; and in the same order as the input file.
