Hello, you are doing it right. And yes, the general advice is to setup mirror (Katello/Pulp backend can help you with that a lot if you use RPMs and there's plugin for SUSE), or you can mirror manually.
Now, Foreman is able to configure two or more ifaces, you pick one as primary which holds the default route, then you pick one as provisioning and that's the one you will be booting from (PXE/DHCP). Now, the problem is how installer behaves in this setup - this might be different for Red Hats, Debians and SUSE, I have experience with Red Hat and in that case the 1st (primary) interface is not used until you do firstboot, thus you need to route IP packets to your installation source or have mirror, because our PXELinux templates allows you to configure only one interface. But Anaconda supports more, you need to tune our templates and provide all interfaces via kernel command line. This will be similar in other OSes. If you test this setup, please file a patch to our community-templates so others can use it. But it's pretty non-standard setup, as I explained above. Your provisioning network should be capable of doing things from start to the finish.
