I got the solution. I found out that when I started ipxe interactively and
executed dhcp command then checking the "next-server" value was giving me
main main dhcp server IP (my router).
I updated my router dnsmasq config with a custom option:
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,openthinclientserver,192.168.71.103
where 192.168.71.103 is my openthinclient box IP.
Thanks,
Piotr
