Or, if you want less work..  have a script which connects to the manager, formats the data and creates an HTML page. Then wait x seconds and loop.

Then, home workers just view that one static page and use a meta-refresh or something.. Only one script is doing any real work and serving a static page to clients shouldn't overload the server.
