That’s already the case.  Please give a look at
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Substitutes>.

Now the build farm bordeaux.guix.gnu.org is not authorized by default –
it could change soon – therefore you just need to authorize it; see

<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Substitute-Server-Authorization>


Hope that helps,
