Hi Chris

There would be a "-do-not-bind" option that will prevent us from binding processes to anything which should cover that situation.

My point was only that we would be changing the out-of-the-box behavior to the opposite of today's, so all those such as yourself would now have to add the -do-not-bind MCA param to your default MCA param file.

Doable - but it -is- a significant change in our out-of-the-box behavior.

Ralphs comments imply that for those sites that share nodes
between jobs (such as ourselves, and most other sites that
I'm aware of in Australia) these changes will severely impact
performance.

I think that would be a Very Bad Thing(tm).

Can it be something that defaults to being configured out
for at least 1.3 please ?  That way those few sites that
can take advantage can enable it whilst the rest of us
aren't impacted.

cheers,
Chris
