Thanks both for spending the time to look at this.

I have seen 
http://www.jedi.be/blog/2011/11/04/vagrant-virtualbox-hostonly-pxe-vlans/ 
before however it appears to be centred around virtualbox and some of our 
team is using VMware, not a major issue but we are trying to remain 
agnostic.

The other post seems to just build a PXE server, not manage the deployment 
of blank nodes for PXE installations with Vagrant.

TBH just being able to continue on a provisioning error would be useful as 
I have a working PXE image deploying via Vagrant but it fails as it never 
"connects" successfully after deployment.

I'll do some more work to investigate the solutions you have mentioned and 
try to post what works for others.

Cheers again
