Summary:  Can't boot from network with multi-NIC client&server :(

Original Submission:  We use grub to boot diskless workstations from Network(with 
PXE). The server is a 2-way P4-Xeon(hyper-thread) with two ethernet NICs. We found 
that the grub can't boot the client when the two NICs were both connected. I thought 
it didn't add/reflash the arp entry when the server anwsered the tftp request with 
another NIC(different from the one grub get the DHCP anwser).
Another problem is found when the diskless client has two NICs. The grub seems not 
able to work when it get only one DHCP anwser. It seems won't boot until the other NIC 
get a dynamic IP from server. The mechanic will be harmful in remote-boot blade 
servers. :(
