Has someone posted tips on creating a ZoneMinder configuration distributed across multiple systems?

I have some small fanless computers that are strong enough to run the zmc and zma components but not beefy enough to run the whole system. I have them set up to use a remote database server and save image files on an NFS mount.

I'd like to use a different system (not the database/file server) to run the web interface.

Right now, I have multiple video "collector" systems pointing to separate databases and I run the web interface on them too, even though they are really too slow to stream video while running zmc and zma.

Can I have multiple video "collector" systems pointing to the same database on the remote system ?

And, how can I run the web interface on a different system ? The whole thing seems to want to be on one box.
thanks in advance for pointers.
