I have a render farm consisting of my laptop and my desktop, both 
networked together.

It's a Windows network.  I have a partition on my desktop (which is 
named P: ) which contains all of my POV-Ray files.  I have it shared on 
my network.  Other machines map their P: drives to this network share.

I don't have the distributed rendering version of POV-Ray.  What I do 
instead is to create a bunch of .INI files, each of which is set to 
render 12 frames (half a second) of whatever IRTC project I'm working 
on.  I put about 60% of them in the desktop rendering queue, and the 
other 40% in the laptop rendering queue (this reflects ther relative 
rendering speeds).  Then I let them render while I do something else 
(sleep, go to work, etc.).

Regards,
John
