Spacewalk Proxy can provide kickstarts, distribution files.

It does not contain dhcpd (but neither Spacewalk Server)
And it does not contain pxe service (which is integrated in Spacewalk
Server via cobbler).
So if you set up tftpd and you are willing to manually maintaint it.
Then Spacewalk Proxy is enough for you.

Having set up Spacewalk Server in master/master is technically doable,
but it is very very hard. It is very close to impossible.
