i presume that vpn is only necessary for the windows file share element of how people generally intiate the rendering process.
if we can find another way of syncing the file system to a central source then vpn would be out of the equation.
We'd need something like syncback or synctoy to get the files automatically off of the server. Also it's possible to set a scheduled event to occur under windows only under low system load, which would be like the screensaver idea only would be easier to implement (well, for the developers it'd be easier!)
The file repository online could have the entire folder of Indigo (to ensure that the user was using the correct version for the render farm). The IGS files and a .bat file which has the commands to run indigo with the correct scene file and settings (and the -n s -h hostname).
Since we're assuming that the user needs to be on the internet anyway to connect to the server then the bat could read from an online XML file for the current render job.
As an alternative to .bat files we could use VBScripts as (iirc) they run natively from windows without anything else being installed.
Thoughts?
