UDP seems like a lot of work. Use a TCP protocol, like perhaps rsh or ssh:
dd if=/dev/hda1 | rsh remotehost dd of=/dev/hda1
(Disclaimer: I didn't test that.)
Better still, mke2fs the new drive, set up an NFS server, and simply "cp -a"
the drives over. That means you can use any size of disk (as long as it's
large enough) and you don't have to bring down the "server" machine while
doing the copy.
Have fun,
Avery
