Thanks to Alkis and David for their responses. While I was awaiting moderator 
approval for my request I did a bit more research. Microsoft Server 2003's DHCP 
server offers setting options on a per-reservation basis, so PXE boot devices 
can have the proper parameters passed to them depending on their MAC address.

We've been using this without any problems for a long time:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP

"A proxy DHCP server is defined by the PXE specification as a server
which sends auxiliary boot information to clients, like the boot
filename, tftp server or rootpath, but leaves the task of IP leasing to
the normal DHCP server"
