Provided you're on a switched network (as everyone is these days), the 'nettee' utility is great for these situations. The disk image to be cloned will get out to the network just once, so you'll not consume 12x time to stream an image. The trick is to build a virtual chain with the stations, giving each nettee process the next host's ip address. Nettee behaves like a 'tee' command but spits output to the network.
Great one to investigate, thanks
