under Edit->Settings->Render View->Server

set the Remote Render Threshold to 0 and the servers will do all
rendering. An easy way to check is that during interactive rendering, if
you enable "interactive Subsample Rate", you will see fat pixels
rendered. That is the image composited server-side, then sub-sampled,
and sent over to the client for display.
