I haven't read up on IPv6 or DHCPv6 all that much, but recently in IPv4 land I've been getting good use out of a Proxy DHCP server. I didn't see any mention of a similar function.
IPv6 consumer router + separate server for diskless booting = happiness Theres only one boot-file. I guess for booting a kernel and initrd off of http using not-gPXE, the solution will be to tape the kernel and initrd together like mknbi does? Or chainload to gPXE like we do now.
