I know I keep mentioning this, but it is beginning to get really frustrating. I've had cause to use conferencing services through Skype a number of times over the last couple of weeks. As I've mentioned before, using conference services can be problematic.
I had two experiences, one good, one bad:
Good - I've found that in the Mac OS X client works much better if you use the keypad to dial the numbers - using the mouse just doesn't work (even if you can do it quickly enough for it to register).
Bad - dialing US conference services from the UK through Skype doesn't work when it coms to entering the conference number and/or pin number.

When you build a new grid one of the elements that will make your grid a success is to build one that scales, because if your grid scales well then it should be able to cope with a wide range of load types and situations.
In this first part of a two-part series on designing a scalable grid I look at the main network architecture of your grid and how you can use these different architectures to suit your grid type.
