Very interesting topic. :)

It seems that the BTL does not realize that the two Myrinets are not
connected. We are currently working on getting the handling of all cases
with different TCP/IP networks right (public IPv4, private IPv4, IPv6),
but to my knowledge nobody has done a detailed evaluation on Open MPI in
multi-domain clusters with mixed networks (TCP+MX, TCP+IB, ...) yet.
