Some tidbits from the readme:
New in version 7 is the option to render in a separate process. In order to communicate with the render process, Poser uses sockets. Some personal firewall software mistakenly reports this as an attempted connection to the internet. If you wish to render in a separate process, you will have to allow network communication on localhost (127.0.0.1) in your personal firewall software for Poser.exe and FFRender.exe.
Rendering in separate process: This feature currently does not support Adaptive Bucket Size. Please choose your bucket size wisely if you plan to render in a separate process. A value in the range of 16-32 is a good starting point.
Rendering in separate process: In some cases, Area Render might fail when rendering in a separate process. If you encounter this problem, please retry, render a full frame, or consider rendering internally.
It gave me too many problems, so I quit trying to use it. You also can't do the trick of minimizing the process the render is running under to force it to shed un-needed memory when you render in a separate process.
