Yes, it's possible. However, by doing this, your server's hard drive might be a bottleneck. Since now one server has to deal with 5 clients with virtually 5 disks.
Here from our test experience, 5 clients are acceptible... But more clients, the system will become slow.
Of course, this really depends on the hardware, network, RAM...

For 30 clients... No, I think it won't work very well. It will be very slow. Since all the 30 clients will request AoE instructions and the server won't service that very will. Unless those 30 clients won't be used simultaneously.

Hi there,
I being followed http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/drbl-sanboot.php to setup the Windows XP san-boot.
My question is that if I would need to have 10 clients with Windows XP, do I make 10 images? Or do I share the same image?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, 10 images for 10 machines.

Mean if i have 30PCs without harddisk, and all the client PCs using gigabit LAN & Gigabit switch , isit will slow down the operation??
