Does the Octane Network Rendering support remote slaves?

I have a server with some GPUs and a static IP, however i'm unable to get it to show up as a slave.

Currently, you would have to directly launch the slave to connect to your master - see the manual.

Please be aware that what you see in the net render settings dialog are not the connected slaves, but the found net render daemons. At the moment, daemons are only found if they are in any of the sub-nets, the master is part of too, because the search is done via broadcast messages which are not transmitted outside of the local sub-net. We are implementing the ability to specify daemons via other means and hope to have it ready for the upcoming version 3.07.
