Under "FILENAME REMAPPING", in in.tftpd's man page:

\i     The IP address of the requesting host, in dotted-quad notation 
(e.g. 192.0.2.169).

\x     The IP address of the requesting host, in hexadecimal notation 
(e.g. C00002A9).

This would imply your nodes get reserved DHCP leases which isn't 
feasible for most situations (such as multi-subnet setups since host 
declarations are global and not subnet specific).

Using these, one could create /NTLDR -> /windows/\i/NTLDR rewrites, but 
wouldn't allow profiles to be selected from the "default" menu.

These two aspects (no host reservations and being able to select 
different profiles from the "default menu") are in my list of requirements.

We're not yet expecting cobbler to do anything without the ris-linux 
package being reviewed and properly landing in Fedora / EPEL

We'll see where we go from there. It's obviously the Windows part that 
is going to require the most work.
