If you specify the option '/seoondHost somemachine.somewhere' it
uses the rsh protocol to launch the second engine in another machine.
This requires to have a rsh server in the target machine (no problem
for unix machines, don't know about other systems).

You can use an external program to connect to the other host
by specifying the /rsh "someCommand someArguments" option.

Don't know if this is what you were looking for. Hope it helps.
