Hi,
  It is possible to enable and use flocking to multiple pools at the same
time?
  I mean a submitted job can run in more than one or two pools using
flocking?

Are you really asking can Condor run the same job on multiple execute nodes simultaneously?  (regardless of flocking)
By 'same job', I mean a job that has the same inputs and produces the same outputs.

Of course not, I'm asking if I summit a condor job, for example:

universe=vanilla

executable=test

transfer_executable = True

should_transfer_files = YES

when_to_transfer_output =  ON_EXIT_OR_EVICT

log=test_logfile.txt

arguments=input_$(process)

input=input_$(process)

output=output_$(process)

queue 100000

And my pool only have 20 working nodes, but I have some friends in other institutions with similar pools, If we enable flocking between us, when I sent this job it can use the other pools free worker nodes to process it while it is running in my own pool? Or it only run in one pool?

Todd

Bye and thanks
