that was what I've been using - the hosts at 
the beginning and the localhost at the end:

   setenv DISTCC_HOSTS 'bolinux54:1111 bolinux11:1111 boccm03:1111 localhost'

You probably mean "don't list bolinux47 if that's 
the name of your localhost"? I haven't.

I'll try putting the fastest machine in front next time, thanks
