In this case, you can have the cake and eat it.
Setup a dhcp server on your LTSP box, but don't give a "range" statement, just 
create one "host" section per client. Set root-path and the like as needed. 
And that's the important part: Care for the IPCOP dhcp server to not hand out 
root-path nor filename, so etherboot, PXE and LTSP will ignore that DHCP 
server. Better than the "don't mess with it ever" attempt, I hope.
