After reading this description, it struck me that this sounds kind of 
like a jail ... a multi-machine jail.

Or...if clusters are separated enough from the machines they're running 
on, could you perhaps turn it around and get jail functionality for free 
 with a cluster defined on just one machine?

Or is that kind of thinking way off base of the vision?  Either way, 
what you describe sounds terribly cool.
