I have not (yet) done this, but would think of the following method: => use only one machine as the DHCP server and TFTP-server => in /etc/dhcpd.conf create a group for each cluster => in the group specify "root-path "<cluster-server-name>:/opt/ltsp/i386" If you like your clusters to get the kernels from their own cluster-server, you can use 'next-server "<cluster-server-name>:/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-6'.
