Jayse,
This is an article i have been looking for! i have been trying to set up an AE Render Farm on the Mac and have been having all kinds of trouble. i posted to this forum about it yesterday then it got swallowed by AE 7 stuff. i have only skimmed the pdf so far but it looks great! does it mention anything about Network settings/Sharing/appletalk? these seem to be gotchas in this? all my computers talk to each other, they just don’t work together!
I also tried QMaster software on the Mac. do you know anything about using that as a netrender?
You mentioned the Xserve cluster nodes may be better than a few minis-could you expand on the whole xserve cluster node a bit.
You seem to know way more about this than anyone else i found so far, so i hope you don’t mind these questions as i read your article.
Thanks Already,
Jeff Petersen
