1) Is it legal and/or advisable to try to have both job execution slots from a startd, and a pool ad, in the same condor pool, as I have above... e.g., condor_status shows 1 remote cluster and 4 cpu's on this machine
By remote cluster you mean Globus, right?
2) what's malformed about the classad as included above?
3) Is there a shortcut condor mechanism to have condor itself create the classad for condor_g type matching.
Not right now--it's up to you and condor_advertise. Sorry!
