Have you had a look at PXE? Basically, each time the machine reboots
you can have it reimage itself from a master server. See
http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe/
for details. Your NIC has to support it, and I don't know how long the
reimaging process takes over 100Mbit, but it's probably less maintenance
effort for you in the long run.
