yes, each node runs the full regular gomd.
the libgomd -applications can be configured to use one of them.
No matter which exactly. The gomd which was connected will
handle all value-gathering and calculating by itself and give
back the resulting values to the libgomd-methods.
So we can keep it dezentralized.

look at :
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/openmosix/userspace-tools/autodiscovery/openmosix.c?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
and search for :calculate_nodeid(const struct in_addr *addr)

i am sure this will help you ;)
