Yeah it has an update tool that can pull updates to an image from the
image server(and it uses rsync).

NCLUG's own dannf is one of the core developers too.

It's part of a group of tools called System Installation Suite.

The others are System Installer and System Configurator. They're all distro 
and architecture independent so you can setup hetrogeneous mixtures. They're 
doing some multicast stuff now I think, very scalable. dannf could probably 
mention what their parallel install record is currently.
