Out of interest, why do you need to do this ?

If you need specific nodes for your jobs it would probably be better to mark 
them with a node attribute in the servers nodes file and then request the 
attribute.

E.g. you have some specific nodes that can have a "foo" card in them, your 
nodes file could have

node001 np=4
node002 np=4 foo
node003 np=4
node004 np=4 foo

Then when you submit your job you could do:

qsub -l nodes=2:foo pbs-script.sh

and you'd get 2 nodes allocated that have the foo attribute set.

Make sense ?

cheers!
