render farm setup

render farm setup

Hi all,

I would like some 'real world' experience feedback on setting up and
administrating a render farm. XSI tech advice would be greatly appreciated
too!  You can respond off list.

We currently have a studio of 14 XSI stations which are not on a network
and are FINALLY moving towards networking them in order to use them as a
render farm.

Here's the deal - it's a student lab, so it needs to be managed in such a
way to support multiple users and multiple projects. Which works best in
this scenario - batch rendering or distributed rendering?  Our goal - to
speed up rendering time as well as to manage projects.

Thanks for any and all help!
