Queue Renders from same Camera over network

Can this be done? When I try to do it, lets say do a network render of the camera, change the mxi and image output, different for each one. No matter what I name the MXI it will render all to the last camera angle. It will even switch in the middle of a render if it already started to the last camera angle I hit render on. Does that make sense? Like I hit preview while its rendering. Load another render into the queue and then hit preview on that first one again and it will switch to the new camera angle mid render.
I also tried queuing up different camera angles from separate cameras and it worked fine.
Not sure if this is a bug or I am doing something wrong.
Thanks
Cody

Sorry but I don't understand this part? You say you want different named outputs from the same camera, but then say it renders the last camera angle....?
In any case, maybe try clearing the temp folders of the Manager, Monitor and Nodes then add a new job.

Yeah sorry, Like lets say I have camera one set, then I hit render over network. Then it starts. Then I move camera one in my scene and hit render over network again, then it is waiting for the first render to finish. Then I move camera one again and hit render over network. Then that one is in the queue also. Then I let all 3 finish rendering.
All 3 of the renders will render to the last camera angle I set. Even if the first render started at the one it was suppose to, it will switch mid render to the last one I set.
I just thought of it, maybe I will set the camera and save the scene as a different name for the second camera.

Or just clone the camera, then move it, then when adding it to network specify the cloned camera.

Also a good idea, because it does work well when I switch from camera to camera.
Thanks
