You certainly do not want to use the network to send gfx commands, it is SLOW !
If you have multiple machines, you want one performer application on each, and
then write an application that share positions over the network.

Note that it is not very easy to synchronize more than one machine, it is why
you problably want to have multiple video output from one system.

So you need a MCO option on RE2, or a DG8 on IR.
Contact your local SGI support if you pursue on that direction.
