A friend and I have recently written a shell script (unix) to do exactly
this. We're currently testing it to make sure it has no bugs. Give us a
few days and we'll release it.

This solution may work under linux, but it depends on how the network is
set up between them. It uses rsh/remsh to log in to the different computers.

BTW, the performance can be spectacular. There's a group of 20 hp 9000
workstations that we distribute to and images normally render in 3-4
minutes. I'm not talking simple images either. For example, the "not at
all real" scene included with the pov distribution took 3 minutes to
render in 800x600 resolution.
