Yes. We were very pleased to find out that it was possible to do
without touching our existing DHCP setup in any way whatsoever.
We use three servers with SRSS installed. Two are in a FOG, and the
third is used purely to dish out config files and firmware to the DTUs;
SRSS is installed but does not run, we only run TFTP on that machine.

No need to reconfigure anything. We created
sunray-config-servers.example.ac.uk and left it at that.
The Sun Rays tend to sit in library-code.example.ac.uk (for example, a
Sun Ray in library TREV has the hostname s004.trev.example.ac.uk) and
when they boot they do a DHCP request, then look up
sunray-config-servers.library-code.example.ac.uk - which does not exist
- followed by sunray-config-servers.example.ac.uk, which points at the
TFTP server mentioned above.

None whatsoever. We did find that the handling of multiple A records
for sunray-config-servers was poor (we raised a RFE, haven't heard
anything back yet), so we moved our sunray-config-servers into VMware
ESX where it can benefit from improved availability which works very
well, especially as it essentially only runs a TFTP service.
More information available to anyone who wants it, on request.
