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.
