Hi Jim

You're right, and this was of some concern to me. But the clients do
find the correct server initially. Presumably because there are no
other servers offering PXE-boot images. So I thought a way around this
would be to run two DHCP servers: one on port 67 and another on port
1067. The first would hand out the tftp info, the second the DHCP
info.

I've a feeling this is going to end horribly, but, since I've come
this far, I'll continue.

Replacing the PXE firmware with Etherboot is something to consider though.

Thanks,
Sean
