That's no different from polling the central database though, you're
just using nfs server and files instead of a db server and queries.
A compute cluster has to have a manager node that has all the state. The
way to do what he wants is to query that manager from each workstation
and keep the results in the local state database. Whether that is
actually feasible/doable in his particular case is another question.
