Shedis,
From what I understand, Kyle's assessment here is correct. You can most
definitely attempt dropping a chainloaded gPXE image, probably
undionly.kpxe or .kkpxe, into your current PXE deployment and just See How
Things Go(TM). The various "How To" guides on the wiki cover the steps
there pretty well, and we can of course give you a hand if need be.
Though I may be pointing out the obvious, if possible could you tell us
what your NBP is or what software product you're using? Supposing it's not
an entirely custom app, others on the mailing list may have experience
integrating gPXE with your product or something similar.
Best of luck,
Andrew Bobulsky

Replacing tftp with http for the "NBP" step will only work if the
"NBP" uses the PXE rom for the download. eg Hey PXE I'd like boot.sdi,
kthx.
