[distcc] compile without localhost?

[Daniel Johansson]

Hi, I've got a question about distcc. At home I got one laptop and a 
bunch of slower servers and one faster, barton 2500+.  I am running 
FreeBSD and I heard that the only thing that could be compiled with -jX 
is the source tree, moast of the ports will generate errors. So I wonder 
if it is a good idea, any benefits?, to use 
DISTCC_HOSTS="IP_TO_MY_BARTON_SERVER" and not localhost or any other 
nodes? Just to let the faster server compile instead of doing it on my 
laptop or on the slower servers. This will work with all programs and 
ports I think, I do not use -jX, all I want is to compile everything, 
almoast, at the fast server instead of doing it localy.

Any thoughts about this? Is it a good idea/solution?
