I would avoid doing that, and here's why: the entries in systemimager
dhcp server will cause machines to be loaded with images. That's
kinda the point, right? So...what happens when someone with one of
these machines for whatever reason, gets pxeboot on top of the boot
priorities list, and hits a production dhcp server with their info in
it? they get reloaded....or at least the danger of that is much
greater. My systemimager/dhcp server is not even on the main
net...it's on a switch with no connection to the main network. Once
the computer is set up, they can get dhcp from wherever.

Afternoon all,
All this discussion on dhcp and pxe boot environments has got
me wanting to
ask my own question about such things.
Is there any good documentation (besides the source) that
describes how
systemimager interacts with the dhcp server? Currently, I am
running a
systemimager server with it's own dhcp server as in the
documentation, but I am
under pressure from multiple directions to turn off the dhcp server
and allow
our networking group to provide DHCP services from their campus-wide
infrastructure. The problem is that I have no actual access to
their dhcp
servers and no chance of getting it, so I need to be able to
document what
settings systemimager uses in a platform neutral way. The goal is
for me to be
able to ask the networking group and have them set things on their
dhcp server
so that I am out of the network services business. Has anyone done
this before,
and is it worth my effort to attempt it. I can't even be sure that
the dhcp
server is dhcpd from ISC, so this needs to be reduced to statements of
configuration changes and not just instructions tp "put this entry
in dhcpd.conf"
Thanks,
Andy
