WDS, by default, will respond to PXEboot clients. No special
configuration of dhcp is necessary. At least that's been my experience
with Windows Server 2008 as (separate) dhcp and WDS servers. In fact,
I had LTSP clients, for which I specifically changed options 16(IIRC),
66 & 67, but they continued to connect to tftp on the WDS server until
I discovered that WDS has the option to respond to PXE requests or
not, and it was not until I disabled that option that my PXE clients
could boot from some other server, despite any settings on the dhcp
server.
