I'm not sure you'll be able to do this for free.  There is a third-part 
PowerPoint plugin called PowerShow that adds multiple display support in 
to powerpoint.  The license for it is $120.

Do you have a really good network department.  Like campus IT or 
something similar.  It's common in IT to send the same command 
simultaneously to multiple servers, so it's possible someone who does 
that could help you configure your network to do something similar.
