OK I'm cool with this as long as I eventually get those 3910 units 
creditted back to me...


they will

But I would like to know if there is a program like SetiGate that can 
distribute WUs to my LAN using BOINC or do I have to make individual 
installations of BOINC for each machine? Or is there indeed a way of 
configuring BOINC so that I can d/l WUs to the one PC and distribute them 
through possibly the "proxy option".

you don't need to, boinc itself caches work units, you set the cache time 
length in the prefs (which is on the website, which boinc clients download 
any now and then)

you shouldn't have a problem unless you run a high latancy contact setup, as 
work units 'expire', they have to be done in a certain time limit or you get 
no credit for them
i think it's normaly about 2-3 weeks from when you download them
