Charles, I believe the "key" to this whole thing is, a "cluster-enabled
application".

This isn't an easy thing to do, especially if you have to retrofit an
existing TN5250 application...

I don't disagree...but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Well doing so
and keeping it 5250 might be

:) Though I have to wonder if the web based 5250 emulator could do it.

I'd just be real hesitant to tell my CIO (if I had one) that the technology
doesn't exist for the platform vs. telling him our home-grown application
was too old to include the tech and would have to be rewritten to take
advantage of it.
