Set up a master machine with mental ray standalone (method 2)

To set up a master machine with mental ray standalone - method 2

1. Use the -hosts option with the ray command, for example:

   ray –hosts ipAddressOfRemoteMachine1:31210 ipAddressOfRemoteMachine2:31210 –v 5 –x 1 sceneFile.mi    
   

   This uses Machine1 and Machine2 as render slaves. This overrides any .rayhosts files on the master machine.
