When network rendering does the slave machine update (reload) the irr map for each frame -- or does it just load it at the beginning of a render sequence and leave the same copy in memory for all frames??
I ask because I've been trying the 'trick' of rendering a IRR pass (every 10th frame) on one fast server, and then submitting the regular job to a few other servers which will use the IRR map which is still being built. I thought it would work (and someone suggested it would on this forum) as long as the fast server doing the IRR map stays ahead of the regular renderers. But if the IRR map is not reloaded, then it won't work (unless I manually stop/start the renderers to make them reload).
