Yes, that would fix your problem, if you can have QIP upgraded such that the underlying ISC dhcpd is 3.0.2 or later. Another possible approach would be to use the "priority" option, which allows you to specify the relative priority of DHCP option blocks. To use this, add something like: option space ipxe; option ipxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate ipxe; option ipxe.priority code 1 = signed integer 8; option ipxe.priority -1; to QIP's dhcpd.conf. That should cause the QIP options to be treated as having priority -1, which would be lower than the WDS/RIS options (which would default to priority 0). Michael
