I've never manually set up something like this. The closest I have is a Faronics console that controls 10 PCs, but those settings were automatically set.
Anyway, DRBL only works when the PXE boot computer is connected to a switch that is connected to the server. I'm wondering if the server is even getting across the LAN and the only communication is going back and forth across the switch. Bypassing the switch with the server by plugging it directly to our other ethernet outlets doesn't let anything boot to DRBL.
I pretty much followed this procedure http://geekyprojects.com/cloning/setup-a-clonezilla-server-on-ubuntu/, even the network settings for the virtual IP. Just 192.168.99.200 because I didn't want to mess with that. Should that be personalized in any way according to the environment in which I'm working?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
So you want to boot your clients on WAN, not on LAN only?
If so, it will be very complicated since you might have to deal with the network switch about relaying some services.

Nope just LAN
Did I misinterpret this program's purpose? Are you only able to clone with computers connected to a switch like in this procedure? http://oakdome.com/k5/tutorials/computer-cloning/free-computer-cloning.php
Basically yes, unmanaged network switch. Or you have to tune the parameters in your switch so it won't block some required packets.
Or actually you can use Clonezilla live, and with some presetting parameters, it can be automatic, e.g.
