I have two machines, Master and slave. It can distribute the render as expected and I can set the slave to either Cuda or CPU. For the master it does not seem to matter whether I set it to Cuda or CPU it will only render on the cpu? Also, the combined render is much slower then an individual render ?

I will make this my log of getting this to work :) So...creating a project, simple cube , rendering on 2 computers , setting the load manually seems to work. Now...I open an existing project and it will not sync , restarted both Blenders ,Conn, does nothing, Resync does nothing. Tried save , revert...nothing. Opened another existing project , and now it works ? No idea as to what the problem is there. PS: simple cube works with a load distribution of 84/16 but when I apply that same setting for another project its way off and I am waiting for the second computer. So it seems like the load distribution calc needs some work as I would prefer it calculating it for me. I can imagine that its a lot of tweaking to do it manually for multiple computers. In fact if its not set perfectly you can end up with a longer render , especially since my second computer has a crap GPU. As it stands I get a faster render on one computer , probably due to the load balancing. Tweaking that to perfection gets me a faster render. Also , seeing the progressive render would be very nice a lot of the time that is where you spot problems , cancel fix, restart. But I guess that is not possible . Also, I am getting this render problem. Second computer renders purple ? Probably does not transfer the environment hdri. Tried "automatically pack into blend" resaved, resynced. and now it works perfectly.
