Distributed NUnit?

So this may sound like a goofy question, but are there any tools out there
that let you distribute the load of NUnit?

Our testing is getting out of control... we have so many tests that take a
lot of time that it takes about 50 minutes to run our entire test suite.  I
know that from a philisophical perspective, the answer is "Make your tests
run faster".  That solution is easier said than done.

So, we had this funny idea that it would be nice to offload testing to idle
machines... kind of like SETI@Home.  If the machine is idle, it runs the
tests and reports the results back to the originator.

Has anyone already done anything like this?

If we were to go about doing it, would we just use the NUnit runner classes
and write our own distribution service?  Or is there a plug-in interface
that it would make more sense to add it to?

Any thoughts on this?
Brian
