This Might Be a stupid Question: Please HELP!

Hey this might be a stupid question, Is The 32v 6.0l Diesel an Pushrod engine or DOHC engine. The Reason I'm asking this is
because me and a buddy at work were talking about the Bosses new Powerstroke and the boss came in the conversation and said
it had 32v but i ask how is that possible and I read somewhere on the net it is a pushrod engine. Plus me and my buddy taught that only dohc engines could only have multiple valve layouts. Can any one please shed light on this subject please.

Each pushrod pushes a rocker arm that pushes on a little bar that pushes on two valves. I saw a cut-away model of the engine this weekend. Kinda hard for me to describe; to draw a picture would be easier.
