Hello everybody,

I'm currently using virtualbox to simulate a network where a virtual
appliance delivers PXE images to other (diskless) virtual machine
instances.

I noticed that the client VMs failed to boot because they accepted the
addresses from the VirtualBox dhcp server, which is *not* configured to
provide any image.

I also tested disabling the built-in dhcp server and putting another
dhcp server as a VM, and once again, the clients that were
supposed to use the PXE server failed. When there is no dhcp other than
my PXE delivering VM, everything works fine.

This happened on a host-only network, using VirtualBox 4.1.14.

I wonder if that kind of behaviour is normal?

Thanks for any advice/comment about this,

Matthieu
