How can I render a random set of frames (ex. 4,24,56,112,345) ?

You mean like a complete random? Easy! This in post-frame script parm:

fcur `rand($F)*$RFEND`; render out/$OS

and toggled on "Block Until Render Complete" on a Rop will generate infinite number of frames chosen randomly from a frange. Please, don't do this, it will run forever!

Seriously, you need to script a command. In Python shell anything along the line:

frames = ( 4,24,56,112,345 )
rop    = hou.node("/out/mantra")

for frame in frames:
   hou.setFrame(frame)
   rop.render()

hth,

There is also Frame Dependency ROP.
