Thanks all for your help
From Markus's choices, number 3 is closer to my needs so I'm considering for
the following configuration:
node 1:RB/BDII/UI
node 2:CE/SE/MonBox/(WN)
node 3:WN
node 4:myProxy
In addition to the manual installation guides I remember someone mentioned
something about guides for multi functional nodes.
Where can I find those guides?
Thanks a lot
Andreas
