Well, you don't really need complex software. Just let one machine render all even frames and another all odd frames. :)

20 Amiga's ?
WOw...
what are the configurations ?

As for networking, you should have some sort of connection between all those Amiga's. Otherwise the networking software doesn't know automatically what to send to which amiga, if there is such software though.

Do you have them all networked ?
If not, than it will be hard to handle as you have so many!

Finally some common sense again.
Although I haven't got 20 Amigas I do render some animations on four different machines with 060. Three of these machines are A1200 and one machine is A4000. You only need to buy one network card (PCMCIA) you can swap between all A1200's. The A4000 has a network card too so I only need 2. Divide all the frames between all machines and use lha and copy to get all files on one machine. From there you can create the animation after you've collected all frames. (Some of my frames take 1 hour so it makes sense to use more machines).
