Parallel cluster solving with OpenFoam? P2P Cluster?

Hi,
I'm new to OpenFoam and to this forum. I worked with ansys' fluent and gambit for some time and encountered openfoam when a pc-pool-neighbour told me about it in university. I had the oportunity to let run some of my models on a fluent cluster system, and now I'm curious to know if and how OpenFoam does this. Is there a cluster available directly in openfoam or does it need another software to do that? the background of my question is if it would be possible to do some kind of distributed cluster where the cluster nodes are connected via the internet. We started a distributed computing project called Constellation, that will be a platform for aerospace related simulations. We are using BOINC as a system, but the connected clients can't connect to each other. All workunits are distributed via a central server, but that would be really slow. I have an idea to connect some clients to one group via p2p or another protocol that they are able to "see" other clients, work together on one workunit without the need to do that via the central server. Of course there will be some issues to solve, but I have some solutions for that as well. The only thing I can't do is to code that. I'm not a programmer. It would be really really great to have such a system, so that we are able to broaden our platform to CFD and other simulations, that need splitted meshes. What do you think? Is that possible?
