Matt,

I don't think you can do this and use the DHCP  from MS. I don't think the
kind of functionality that ltsp wants from dhcp isn't supported in MS's
dhcp server.  When MS needed to distribute boot files for their Remote
Installation Service, the pxe piece was included as part of the RIS server.
The RIS server, in turn, must be authorized in AD to be another dhcp server
even though it doesn't do any IP addressing.   So they simply unloaded the
function onto RIS.

It may be possible to do some contorted configuration that will allow this
type of thing, but it never seemed worth it  to try to figure out since
MS's DHCP/DNS "solutions" have always struck me as being more proprietary
than standards-based.  I'd ask MS before I spent any time on it.  We went
through many iterations of dhcp/dns servers a few years back when we began
planning Active Directory here at the Census Bureau.  We tried a variety of
dhcp/dns combinations and we selected ISC dhcp and BIND because of all the
different services we examined only the ISC stuff allowed us to easily do
things such as set up ltsp.  Even the MS consultants agreed this was the
right choice for us.

Now, if I could only figure out how to unload the PXE piece from the dhcp
server the way MS did in Windows....
