Also good information!
I didn't realize that last point was possible - Enable DR in the scene, activate DR Server on some nodes, and submit to BB (note - to a node without DR Server running), then the node rendering from the BB job submission will ask the DR nodes to help out. That can be useful even for stills, as it lets you use the network but without the machine you are working on needing to be tied up with rendering.
Haven't tested what happens if I have two nodes rendering through BB and each asks the DR servers to help out, anyone know what happens in that case?
Overall, for animation I still agree that BB is the way to go though.
