Have you thought about using distcc and ccache?

I haven't fully tested distcc but it appears to be able to gracefully handle 
systems that drop off the network when doing distributed compiling.  I've got 
one system here running gentoo that drops off the network for no aparent 
reason and it doesn't affect my distributed compiles.
