I've read through most of the thread and I'd like to offer any help that I can.
One thing I noticed was about the multiple client issue.
Basically you can have 2 clients folding on your HT machine as long as you issue a seperate machineID for each (ie machineID=1 machineID=2 etc) ...the more processes you have the more machineID's you set up to 8.
As for the GUI version and multi clients. You can only have one instance of the GUI per machine. If you fold with two clients you may use one GUI and one Console or you may choose to use both clients as Console. You cannot use 2 GUI's.

Something not yet mentioned that you may keep in mind is user id's within the registry. This should only give issues if you ghost from one machine to another with a f@h client installed. If you duplicate the user id withing the registry on 2 or more machines you will waste lots of folding power and only receive points for one. The way to avoid this is to either delete the user id from the registry before you make the ghost master ...or simply delete it once you've ghosted. Once the client is restarted an individual id will be applied.

I've already gotten too long winded so if you have any questions I can answer please ask.
I wish you the best of luck with your team effort ...great idea!
