[LON-CAPA-admin] Any Issues with Running One 32-bit and One 64-bit RH Linux 5.5 Access Servers?

No, there are no known issues. In the past MSU ran a mix of 32 bit and  
64 bit access servers with no problems.

One of the features of the LON-CAPA network is that users from your  
domain may potentially log-in to other servers in the network (which  
belong to other domains), and have their sessions hosted there (with  
permanent data stored on the library server in the user's home  
domain). Consequently, LON-CAPA needs to be able to support a mix of  
32 bit and 64 bit access servers.
