I would petition open systems to let you run a distributed client on their lab
boxen next time around. Run it with a bunch o failsafes and only at night or
something; there's a reasonable solution that makes everyone happy.

The contest finished on October 1, so I stopped the darts-server.  The
darts-client programs should die soon (in a day or so), but you can kill
them if you want.

I am still waiting to hear the final results, but it seemed that I have
slipped to at least fourth place.  I am anxious to know whether those
that beat me did it because of a superior algorithm or because they had
more computer power.

In the meantime, I have learned a lot about distributed programing, and
I would be happy to share my aquired knowledge with anyone who wants to
know how to do it.

Thanks everyone for helping.
