Some time ago, I have tried to measure the interconnect speed in HP Tru64 3 node RAC configuration based on memory cards. I got some thing like 0.5ms for one access. Theoretically if light speed 18600 mlies/sec. then for 100 miles latency going to be ~0.53ms (just to get to destination) + HW overhead. . It can appear that latency in interconnect communication will be 3 times more then in local configuration. . And there theoretically you are going to locate shared storage? ;) . May be some in this list working in distributed configuration. It will be very interesting to hear about such case.

I can envision possible issues with network latency or outages, but I'm=20 wondering what other problems/issues others may have found if/when they tried such a configuration.
