What Tim said above is correct - each job can express its own preference 
for a type of machine via a 'rank' expression in the submit file. 
However, another alternative if you want this to happen across all 
submit points is to place this policy at the central manager.  There is 
a HOWTO that describes what to do here:

Hope the above helps
