While it would certainly be possible to have each bare metal host handle its own image downloading for tasks and execution, that isn't the most efficient method in terms of disk usage or maintenance (making sure old images are removed, etc).
There is some overlap with the sysadmin-ish tasks needed to support disposable clients but some of the features needed are: downloading images to use for task executor downloading images to use for target VMs find already-downloaded images specify which image to use for task executor in a way that doesn't require package changes or much manual tweaking

Seems like a job for read-only nfs. Let the nfs server handle the job of periodically downloading images.
The bits covered here which aren't complete have been moved to other tickets, closing.
