Multiple full nodes on one internet connection

Excatly. if you run for example;
chia start farmer

on your main machine (full-node), you will realize that the farmer services are already running.

On your plotters you simply need chia.exe available. You now have two options:

  1. You start Chia GUI, enter your mnemonic and close it right after it again (never open it again). Then you call chia.exe with “plot create” and or using a Plot Manager like Swar, Plotman or Ploto.

  2. To prevent possible access to your private key, this option here should be considered. In this approach, you don’t launch the GUI ever and you dont import your mnemonic. You will need to specify -p and -f parameters for plots create command. This passes your public pool and farmers keys onto your plots that then can be farmed by your full-node/farmer that has these keys in his trust chain. To get these keys, simply run the following command on your full-node. chia keys show
