[NTLUG:Discuss] OT: using multiple computers to compile

On a multiprocessor box, I can do a
make -j
to tell it to start compiles on different processors
at the same time. The Makefile needs to be configured
to use the -j option, but once it's set up, it seems
to work ok.
Now... my question is... say that I have two ( or more )
single CPU boxes on the same network. Without settig up
a Beowolf Cluster, Is it possible to configure make and
a Makefile so that make -j will use multiple boxes to do
the compile instaed of multiple CPUs to do the compile?
Thanks - jack
