Peter,
In answer to your second question you have a couple of options. If you have multiple NICs on your server, configure the second one as a separate subnet, throw in a hub, and serve addresses and tftp on that interface only. Your primary NIC would only connect to your ISP provided router and the secondary one would serve your LAN. The only drawback is that your server will need to route every WAN side incoming or outgoing packet so you'll get a minor performance hit.
The second option is to go buy the cheapest router you can find DLink, Linksys, etc (about $30 now) and configure the WAN side to acquire an IP address automatically which it will get from your ISP provided router. Disable DHCP on your own router/switch and then connect everything else to it having then configure your server to serve DHCP and tftp on the newly created subnet. This will minimize any performance impacts to your server because it won't act as a router and there should be little to no impact to your WAN side performance.
Cheers...
Sergio
