It even mentioned hobbyist clusters over the internet as a practical implementation. ;)

I'd be up for trying a cluster over the internet   

Do you have the bandwidth for a high-performance one, or would we end up with a high-latency constantly-exploding one? ;)

I have lots of bandwidth here.   But keep in mind, in clustering over
Ethernet, the "L" in "LAVC" stands for "Local". ;)   I really don't see
it working well at all, but that's based on having done it locally, not
from actually trying it on a WAN.

I have access to systems with lots of bandwidth, they just implement a bit of MAC filtering and have limited IPs.
