I see :-) Any generic timeframe on future releases which might support
the dynamic process connectivity over infiniband? I guess it will
depend on how high on the 'stack of priorities' this issue is
positioned :-)

In the meantime - is anyone aware of any other libs which may support
MPI_Comm_join for bootstrapping MPI message deliveries over
Infiniband?

Once again - thanks for  your feedback.

Leon.
