The change seems to consist of setting a second (and more)
'next-server' in the dhcpd.conf (to spread tftp load) for
ranges of IP's or hosts, and in the gdm chooser, for allowing
an unskilled user to end up on the less loaded of multiple X
servers --
The dhcpd.conf man page example for next-server is not working
cleanly for me, and I am debugging this at the moment.
A simple GDM chooser setup is documented at
http://www.owlriver.com/tips/gdm-setup/
but it needs to be extended to offer just two or three of the
least loaded ... or simply dump the user onto one of the least
loaded without intervention
NFS export of /home makes the server choice a matter of
indifference.
What have _you_ so far? -- if you wish, send off list and I'll
offer a less public critique <smile>
