That would not really help as the NIC BIOSes would not use it then.

Network boot works by initially loading pxelinux.0 which can be found
at /server/default/data/nfs/root/tftp/pxelinux.0
The TFTP-Server then dynamically creates a config for pxelinux based on
the template file in that directory which also contains the linux kernel
and initrd.

I don't quite get that. Please describe your setup.
Maybe you got some things wrong.
a) we don't supply a DHCP server, just a DHCP proxy. You need to have
a DHCP server already.
b) when running the server on a Linux host, this can not be the
same as the DHCP server due to the way the servers bind to the port.
c) if you have such a setup you will have to disable the OTC DHCP
proxy by deinstalling it via the package manager and add manual
DHCP options:
filename "/pxelinux.0";
next-server <IP>;

If you are going to use a boot disk you will have to create a disk
containing syslinux/lilo/grub, an appropriate config file and the
vmlinuz kernel and the initrd file.
