This has been reported (on this list) with OpenBSD as well, which uses the same PXE/DHCP client implementation I believe (I think OpenBSD "borrowed" the FreeBSD software in this case). Not quite the first thing that comes to mind in these cases, but looking at your original posting again, the 0.0.0.0's are pretty obvious. This is not the behaviour for "next-server" prescribed by the PXE standard - it should default to the gateway IP if not specified. Someone should really report this as a bug some day..
