Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. distcc 3.2rc1 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

2. Redhat EL6.1 gcc4.4.5

3. using distcc compile linux kernel >distccd --daemon --allow 192.168.1.0/24 --jobs 32 >export DISTCC_HOSTS='192.168.1.99/32,lzo,cpp

>pump make -j12 CC=distcc Note that, all these commands are issued on the same localhost: 192.168.1.99, I just want to have a test to see if it works and the performance.

4. Regardless what -jN is set to, only 4 jobs are created.

   distccmon-text 1

   19154 Compile localhost[0] 19175 Compile localhost[1] 19155 Compile localhost[2] 19181 Compile localhost[3]

seems, only 4 jobs can be fired to localhost. Any where to overwrite this value? I tried DISTCC_HOSTS='192.168.1.99/32,lzo,cpp localhost/32,lzo,cpp' with no luck. (localhost is actually the same computer as 192.168.1.99
