Adding render nodes mid-render

In V-Ray Distributed Rendering,
I think we should have the ability to add and remove servers while the render is going on.
Sometimes I want to use my main workstation for other stuff, but when I am AFK/Sleeping, I want to use my workstation to join the render as well.

At the moment, I have to stop the render, then add the workstation(local machine) for render, then it will take time to sync assets all over again to all the render servers. Adding a feature to add render servers on the fly can help us avoid this.

    Hi, this is possible even now.

    Oh yeah, I also had a render server built mid render, had to stop the entire render and send assets all over again just to add 1 render server.

    So even if it is a drop-down on VFB or something, that would be very helpful :)
