What exactly is bonic/boinc?

Yes, Einstein @ Home has been used for this. Either as a backfill when no job
was running on the node(core) or as a continuous job maximally niced in the
background. Usually the memory footprint is not too harsh, thus there is not
much of a problem there.
However, if running Linux, be advised to stay away from the completely fair
scheduler. this tends to give too many cycles to the job if other jobs are
running at the same time (as a different user).
Another note: Just make sure that the nodes can talk to the servers, i.e.
either give the nodes a gateway to talk to the world or provide them with a
http-proxy.
