Yes, the clonezilla server with drbl can multicast - or manage several
concurrent clone operations even without multicasting. However, it
does require all the hardware to be pretty close to identical with the
target disk the same size or larger than the master. You might be
better off with cobbler or something similar to PXE boot into an
automated install instead of loading a prebuilt image. It is easy
enough to test clonezilla, though - just boot a clonezilla-live iso
and save/restore to some existing network share or over ssh. If you
like the results, then set up the multicasting server.
