Paul, Thanks.
You've done this in exactly the right way, i.e., by using the pxelinux ability to send a node back for a local boot. We should also provide for the full generalization of the capability, e.g., look at file contents instead of just a symlink target, allow for the targeting multiple nodes by IP prefix, none of which are hard. This is certainly on our plans, I'd like to consider it for our 4.2 release. -- David N.
