If you could switch to UNIX, you can do this using the RPC-capabilities
of IDL. Start several IDL servers on different machines ( idl -server & )
In $IDL_DIR/rpc/examples you will find some templates for writing
RPC-Clients. It should be easy to change this codes to be able to
provide a list of different IDL-RPC-Servers instead of only one.
Here is the usage of the small example rmtidl :
/* */
/* Usage: rmtidl [server_id] [hostname] */
/* */
/* E.g. rmtidl 0x234567890 -- change server id */
/* rmtidl mymachine -- use remote host */
/* 'mymachine' */
/* rmtidl 0x12345678 thunder -- use IDL running on */
/* host 'thunder' with server ID 12345678 (hex) */
/* */
... the command in the source code later in this example could be
changed to send the cmdbuffer with a loop to an array of servers:
printf("%d\n",send_idl_command( client, cmdbuffer ) );
