What is the best way to copy a module to all descendant pages?

Example:

Here is a stucture:

Page1

---- Subpage 1

   ---- SubSubPage1

   ---- SubSubPage1

   ---- SubSubPage1

   ---- SubSubPage1

---- Subpage 2

---- Subpage 3

Page2

Page3

Page4

I have a module called title it is an image that goes at the top of all the pages under subpage1.  The way I have been doing this is put the module on subpage one then go to SubSubPage 1 and copy the module from subpage1. then go to SubSubPage2 and do the same. When I have 100 pages that take a LONG time.  Is there any way to push a module to all subpages but not the whole site?

AFAIK there is no automated option currently.

I there a way I could cheat this then?

Here is my real life situation.

I used a free module on a site called DNNPT Quotes as a radom image module. It worked fine for me for awhile and through the testing part. I knew that if the site grew I could run into this problem. There are about 20 pages that include pages like home, about, contact, that all have a copy of the same instace of this module. Then I have a list of about 17 ministies. Each one has its own instance and copys to subpages. That way I can have a random image pertaining to that ministry at the top of the page. Each ministry has between 3-100 pages. The problem with DNNPT Quotes is that sometimes it will not randomize the images sometimes it only displays 1 or 2 of them. If I mess with it deleting and reuploading the images sometimes it works. Can't figure out the bug. So I was thinking about replacing it with something like NCM Random Image Pro 4.0. However placing copies of it throughout the site would be a lot of man hours.

I was wondering what if I created a variation of the skin file that called the pane where the module would go a unique name such as Img_AgriculturalMinistry. Then pushed that skin file to all decendants. Then added a module to that pane and check the display module on all pages. It would only display the module on pages with the skin that had the pane called Img_AgriculturalMinistry, right?  Is this a bad way to go?  Does it try to load the module on all pages on the site and  slow things down even if there is no pane in wich to display it?

Thank you.

Don't do that! If the module can't display within the preferred content pane, it will dusplay within the ContentPane since every skin on DNN at least has one of those. Your module will display on all pages regardless of the preferred pane that you are trying to put it in.
