Eh, I don't really think dban is necessary. Probably more than an fdisk and creating a file system is overkill.
Besides there's gnu shred that would do the job from his running CentOS system ... hit the secondary drive with random bits or just a pass of zeros.
# one pass random bits, one pass zero shred -vfz -n1 /dev/<something>
# zeros only shred -vfz -n0 /dev/<something>
Then make it available via PXE, though with a DANGER warning in your PXE menu :-).
Hehehe. ;)
I have dban on a pxe boot server. Initially having it there was a bit disconcerting ... more so that a coworker would stumble upon it. I hid the option in a separate menu and did put a warning in the splash message.
Off-Topic: A coworker of mine modified the dban iso so that it would boot and auto-nuke (no keyboard) ... He left that disc in a server he gave to another coworker ... who we suspect put the disc in a work computer and wiped the drive! :P
