Synching rigidbodies

I'm trying to update rigidbody information via an RPC call, and I wanted to know if there is any way to manually update the physics simulation on an object to adjust for lag.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function OnCollisionEnter( other : Collision )
3. {
4.   if( Network.isServer )
5.   {
6.     networkView.RPC( "RPCHandleCollision", RPCMode.Others, rigidbody.position, rigidbody.velocity );
7.   }
8. }
9.  
10. @RPC
11. function RPCHandleCollision( pos : Vector3, vel : Vector3, info : NetworkMessageInfo )
12. {
13.   rigidbody.pos = pos;
14.   rigidbody.vel = vel;
15.  
16.   var dt = Network.time - info.timestamp;
17.   // I need to update the physics object here.
18.   // I could loop it myself, but an API call would be
19.   // safer, wouldn't it?
20.   // Otherwise I'd do something like this...
21.   while( dt > Time.fixedTime )
22.   {
23.     rigidbody.pos += rigidbody.vel * Time.fixedTime;
24.     rigidbody.vel += Physics.gravity * Time.fixedTime;
25.     dt -= Time.fixedTime;
26.   }
27. }
28.  

Or is Unity automagically detecting when rigidbodies are affected by network views, and firing off a series of FixedUpdate() calls to compensate?
