Ok, looks like this has been unnecessary. The blank monitor output, (which started this whole adventure and all the second-guessing) appears to be a Gentoo problem, and a very old one at that:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/51616

As explained in that bug entry, by executing

DISTCC_DIR=/var/tmp/portage/.distcc distccmon-text 1

I get the correct output. Sure enough, instead of fixing the problem, they put the step in their docs (which I had overlooked).

Actually I think I may be misinterpreting the log output.

I was noticing lots of lines like:
distcc[19451] cpp libxslt.c on localhost completed ok


...which led me to believe that some work was being done on localhost. But then just now I noticed it's also dumping lines like:
distcc[19451] compile libxslt.c on 192.168.0.10/10 completed ok

Different line, same filename. So, I don't think I'll continue this thread until I'm certain of what I'm seeing. To do that I think I need to get the monitor running correctly, but I'll start another thread for that.

Thanks,

What is required to prevent distcc from using localhost?

Unless something is broken, with the setup you describe distcc will
only do compiles on the localhost when that's necessary - for example
for linking or writing profile data.  The log file will tell you why
it decided to run a job locally.
