Why don't you take the easy way ? There's a RenderManager.app in 
/NextDeveloper/Demos. Use as follows:

- login at the host you want to make a render host
- start up RenderManager, a list with all currently known servers appears
- 'localhost' should be selected, now click on 'Configure' button
- click on 'Public' in Configure Server panel
- click on 'Where' if you want to change the NetInfo domain to be served
  (warning: bug in that selection panel, cancel doesn't work, choose right one)
- change 'Note' field if desired

In short: it's straight forward, similar to printer management
