hi, sorry for delay, i just missed your post.
i couldn't found the original post (404)
well probably it's an "old" post. I'm learning every day
in fact, with actual vray, i think you can use the Vray distributed rendering for distributing irrmap on several slaves. (using vray spawner)
if i remember well, older vray versions just crushed the irrmap file hen using ditributed with vray (not sure).
But, i also believe that it's dangerous to use backburner for this as every frame will be launched on a machine, and IM will not be computed in the good order, and can produce a mess. Same for crushing irrmap file.
We need to check this to be sure and give a "real" and updated answer on that point.
I guess you can do it safely with no backburner but vray network rendering activated.
About lightcache :
As far i know LC is stored into irradiance map if you uncheck "use light cache for glossy rays".
