Thanks for the tips, I will study more about this. I would really love to contribute something like this to the community, but my time is short! If I learn anything new I'll surely post here.<div><br></div><div>Regards,</div>

Not for a single image. At least not without writing some custom code.<br>
I do believe the built in render farm will work with cycles for<br>
animations,<br>
but the work load is still just distributed on a per frame basis. The<br>
folks<br>
at <a href="http://renderfarm.fi" target="_blank">renderfarm.fi</a> have done some work for distributed rendering for a<br>
single<br>
image. Here is one done on 100 machines with only 21 passes per image.<br>

I don't know if the developer is going to release his code to the<br>
public or not?<br>
You can ask around in the IRC to see what you can find out about it. I<br>
will be<br>
needing that in the future my self, so please post back here with<br>
anything<br>
you find out.<br>
