No one is doing this that I'm aware of, but for a long time I've
wondered what would happen if someone were to cleverly use Mental Ray's
ability to set up a rayserver which loads the scenefile, then have
multiple nodes query it until the render is complete. More of a
distributed computing solution, tho, as I don't think even Mental Ray is
compiled with any sort of truly parallel (e.g. MPICH, PVM, etc.) system
in place.
Cheers!
