Render only on nodes, not main PC - Looking for software solution

[build]

I am looking for a solution to set up a render farm for my office. I have several nodes and workstations. I want to submit the renderings to the nodes only so the workstations can still be used without RAM problems. As far as I know, this is still not possible with Corona DR Server. And backburner doesn't support to render a frame on more than one machine. So what is the solution? Which software does support this feature? Any help is highly appreciated.

You can submit a job to BB with activated Coroan DR nodes, works fine.

That's what I do. But still, backburner only sends a job to one node. It is not rendered on more than one node at a time. Or am I wrong?

Right. But the other nodes work also on that same frame. You

- submit a BB job (only!) to Node-01, inside the scene Node-02, Node-03 etc. are defined as Corona DR slaves
- Node-01 gets the job by Backburner and uses Node-02, Node-03 etc. as slaves


So actually you can make all the farm nodes work on one frame, that's what you wanted?

You were right. Just tested it and it works fine. Thank you for your help!
