In a recent thread, Brian mentioned the "mini DHCP server" in the KVM brand 
zone.

I had a couple of questions about that that have been rattling around in the 
back of my head for a while...

First off, is there a way to turn this off and allow the guest in the KVM zone 
to DHCP from another server elsewhere on the vlan?  Some combination of 
nics.*.allow_dhcp_spoofing and configuring the NIC with no IP address?  I don't 
see any nics.*.dhcp_client in the vmadm man page...

Second, assuming the above is feasible, does the SeaBIOS (which I think is what 
we're running in qemu) know enough to PXEboot?  I want to netboot 
http://ipxe.org and chain on to doing other things.

Goal here is development environment for custom ipxe builds and preseeds for 
bare metal imaging.

Anyone done anything like this before?  I've been using vmware as a dev 
environment and it is wearing thin because of what a pain it is to do my 
repeated pave-and-rebuild cycles.

Thanks,
