Are you wanting to render stills or animations? What OS's are involved?
For animations:
There are a number of ways I've heard of people doing it. Do a search on
here and you'll find some stuff. The method I chose was intended to be
super-simple and have it's basis in plain SDL. I set up a shared network
directory and used POV-Ray's file i/o features along string commands to
check whether a file such as "FrameFlag_002.txt" already exists in that
directory or not. If it exists, then "this machine" renders an empty frame
which is easy to sort out later. I can post an updated version of that SDL
if you're at all interested.

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
