I have had much success with dual dhcp servers on the same port. The ltsp server serves to known mac addresses only. If the client gets a reply from *the other* server much info is missing (root path, file name etc) so it does not proceed. I usually have the first OFFER fail and the second succeed. This make the whole LTSP setup very easy, and not intrusive for the users.
