The infrastructure to maintain authority on terabytes of data on late 90's hardware in a distributed fashion would be a pretty significant amount of development effort.
It'd be much easier to just get a giant RAID NAS, and manage it all there, which should in theory be quite sufficient assuming you are keeping proper backups. Many of the render nodes will have copies of the needed data, but the authoritative copy needs to live somewhere.
