Assigning IP address directly

[p3taoctane]

Is there a way we can implement adding an ip address where some slave smight reside directly into the network render interface.

If I am correct... right now it looks for slaves... what if you want to tell it go to this address... slave there...

Is that possible now or in future releases?

Thanks

Peter

No you can't specify the IP addresses of the daemons, they are searched via a broadcast in the local network. But you can launch slaves manually and specify the master the IP address and port via the command line (--net-master-address and --net-master-port) and the slave will try to connect to the master as soon as a master with that IP address starts listening on the specified port. As soon as a slave connects with a master and has the correct version, the slave will be used for rendering.

You mention the local port... if it is not on the same local network ... will it not find it even with the ip help

Many thanks
