There are probably a set of stages to this....
1. The thing obviously bootps for initial configuration
2. Then it may want to download an image - probably TFTP maybe FTP or NFS
[config file if no image...]
3. Then its probably OK, unless it also uses a font server....
4. Also there would normally be an xdm or similar manager for it.
1. BOOTP. Don't think about doing this by masq-ing it.
Put a bootp-relay agent on your masq machine instead.
I think there are relay agents in the CMU bootp distribution,
and the ISC dhcp relay will probably work too (from www.isc.org)
2. FTP OK, NFS OK, TFTP... think it'll work.... However the NCD
will need to be able to work through a router... rather than
assuming a direct network, and you need the bootp entry modded
to fit that.
3. X font server should work through masq. Or you could have one
on the masq box.
4. I guess some of the X modes will work through masq... but the
ports will be generally loused up. This could be the hardest part to
make work, and its easiest if the supporting host is on the masq neywork
