Hi, Matt.
Thanks for your advice! All I had to do was copy the public keys to the
~/.ssh/known_hosts file. The only other thing I needed to change was to
disable the host key checking since I was getting prompted with:

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
I found a good tutorial on how to disable StrictHostKeyChecking here

Again, thanks for your help! I'm currently running on 64 cores :-).
Erik
PS: I found another tool called load_balance which looks like it does the same
thing. It looks to be built on MPI and boost.
