I currently use 3 computers as music servers. You have to install SC on
all three and then configure Duet. Its easy to designate which server

A great wayt to use Homeplug is to allow you to locate a WAP closer to

as far as I know there is no way to control SqueezeCenter with iTunes.
You can stream to iTunes as you are doing, and you can have SC update
its info from your iTunes library, but you can't control it via iTunes.
iTunes doesn't speak SC's protocols.
