[Opensim-users] Making A 30region clone to a 30 sector Mega-region

Fri Jan 29 22:30:43 UTC 2010

Are you running
OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe
OpenSim.Server.exe
OpenSim.Grid.MessagingServer.exe on one computer and the
OpenSim.exe on another computer ?  That would seperate the two so that one
computer wont be overloaded.  Just wondering if its even possible ?
