It's possible to have more than one DHCP-server on the lan, but you must be very careful to restrict IP ranges (to prevent the same address being handed out by both servers). As the router device probably doesn't hand out root-path and filename it will be ignored by both DHCP steps in booting a ltsp workstation (first DHCP request by etherboot, second by dhclient in the initrd). Just setup another DHCP server, declare it as "not authoritative;" and don't declare ranges (but only per-host stanzas with IPs that the router does not use).
