I spotted this project from Koichi Nakamura
A mother board approach to a Pi Zero cluster
Add http://www.realtek.com/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=4&PNid=19&PFid=17&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=335 and you could have a private switched network!
This looks real interesting. I presume you are using an Ethernet interface through the micro USB for inter node communications. Can you provide information about power requirements?

But 1 network cable doesn't have the wow factor : )
Also definitely some moral there about sourcing parts.. : )
Because they could only get 1 out of 16 needed? LOL.
I had 2 on order, when they extended my promise date out to March I cancelled.

Demand is very high for the Zero. Please do not make the biggest mistake you can make in business, by doing a knee jerk ramp up of production. If the capacity can't cover the need, either ask people to wait, or raise the price. Performing emergency production increases is the quickest way to kill any profit margin you had. Especially if it means starting a new line or switching over a line from another product.

I can't seem to find any details on that but yes the USB OTG can be used to connect up an Ethernet network
I wonder if they're using anything like this:
