Layer 2 Broadcast over Routed links

Hello All,

I've been tasked with getting clock equipment working on our campus network. I need to have these touch screen stations in the same broadcast domain as the master server ....but the server reside under server block.

Server block access switches are connected to a distribution switch and DSW are connected to Core Switch over L3 links
Clock devices are connected to access switch trunked to Core switch
 
What's the best way to span a layer 2 broadcast domain over a layer 3 routed uplink??

Is it ok if clock server and clients have different IDs?
Yes switches support multicast
Hi Any suggestions ?
Do the clocks support multicast?
Im not sure what different ids means from a network perspective..
I would communicate with the vendor to see what your options are to put the timeclocks across l3 links. They have to have other companies doing it.
Correction: I meant VLAN IDs
