Yes, via an openvpn WAN link. It worked but the benefits seemed minimal due to the odd mix of fast/slow hosts I was using (tip: remove any slow/high latency hosts as it will slow the whole lot down). However, I might try again sometime using pump mode which wasn't available at the time.
distcc is designed for a local network - so security is a real issue. There are some security related settings in the config file, but I would still be wary of using it "naked" and not via an encrypted link.
