You want to have multiple server setup as documented here:

http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/multiple-server-setup.html

Clients will get the boot image from one main server which also holds the user 
setup and user homes. Cpu load is shared among secondary servers - effective 
load balancing is included.

With 64 bit server and 32 bit clients install i386 chroot and image and don't 
forget to point to the right image from dhcp. On 64 bit servers only the 
amd64 client will be installed as default ltsp installation.
