Can not help at all with respect to a MAC.

1 PC all the way........  ( could not make the networking work with Win7,
and gave up all networking ideas... which, luckily I do not need....) 

You have a more complicated setup than I ....

I just Googled 'lightroom catalog multiple computers' and got about
32,900 results in 0.18 seconds, including this:

Personally, I run the latest LR on my iMac but keep my images and catalog on
an external hard drive from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_U
SB

I also backup both image files and the catalog to multiple additional drives
stored in various places.

However, I have learned that everyone's setup is a little bit different so I
always advise looking for how many others do it and then adapt the method
that seems best for you.

HTH.
