Clara,

My suggestion would be to composite the final image on one of the local
rendering pipes, use a glReadPixels(...) to grab the image, send the data
over a socket connection to the remote machine, and have that machine
glDrawPixels(...) from a waiting context. I know this involves
non-trivial software development (I looked into writing such a utility for
a Java remote interface a while back) ....but until sgi picks up the ball
I think this is what you'll have to do.

But, as always, there's probably another way <grin>.

Hope that answers your question.
