[distcc] Adding / removing distcc servers on the fly?

[Bill Chmura]

First off, thanks for the advice the other day from a few people on a
gentoo issue I was having.  I got two machines compiling together today,
and gcc being compiled on another two.  I am also looking suspiciously
at my iMac and my xBox.  Hmmmm, but thats another tale.

I was not able to find this on the site or STFW...  Can I add nodes on
the fly to the distcc thats running?

I am using emerge with Gentoo.  I did try it, and it appeared that when
I did the --set-hosts " ", it only took the first one listed if it was
already running.  Not positive, some things won't compile in parallel on
gentoo...  I had the text viewer running and I did not see anything
being sent out.  

Next question, I know from last time that a node can drop off and the
cluster is okay.  What if the node comes up again?  Is it detected? 
Part of this would be dependent on emerge too I take it... If it
restarts the distcc between each package being built?

Thanks - this is a fantastic tool!

Bill
