dd only allows you to specify one output, so you'll need to write a for-loop 
in your favorite shell scripting language. 

Or, you could get clever can use a chain of tee commands (note that by not 
specifying an output device, it defaults to stdout): 

  dd if=/dev/source | tee /dev/dest1 | tee /dev/dest2 ...
