Raspberry Pi Cluster with Kali host

G'day everyone

Hoping someone would shed some light over the school project I am working on. I am building a 4 node Raspi cluster that will be eventually used as a honeypot for research purposes for my capstone project. I am wondering if having Kali installed on the host machine and Raspbian on the 4 nodes, with a different honeypot sensor on each one of them. Would I be able to set up Kali to talk to the other 4 nodes through MHN, or host and bodes have to have the same OS on them?

Thanks,
Sabi

If you set up your devices to use common network protocols to connect and transfer data, they can have any OS on them that supports it, and they all do.
