distcc host question

when configuring DISTCC is one supposed to put their own ip in the host file? Or do I enter just the other hosts and asume it does a bit on compiling on my machine as well?

yes add your local ip (127.0.0.1) to the host file

if you have a faster pc on the network you can add it before your own host to get it to do more compilation. Don't forget to edit /etc/make.conf increase your makeopts -jx number to equal the number of cpu's +1

well make sure distcc is installed and started, then make sure you tell portage about distcc (FEATURES="distcc" in make.conf) surely you;ve done all this.

Also, if another host is compiling on your box you can't use the monitor to see it. However if you start the compiling you can see it via the monitor
