Re: split load with cfengine

[Zeev Fisher]

Hi,

What I need is not something random. I need that machines from group A
will have class A defined  and the other group will have another group
defined. I can't do list of hosts for each group because this is
dynamic. machines come and go.

I thought of something like checking if the number part of the machine
name ( for example lnx4 ) is odd or even and from this define class
( reminder - I need to divide the compute farm to 2  ) but maybe you
have better idea.

Thanks in advance,
Zeev
