Hi,

I'm trying to setup a dnsmasq adding some pxe-stuff in a network with an uncooperative DHCP-server.

Even for this problem dnsmasq has a solution, really the swiss-army-knife for DNS/DHCP stuff !

But I don't unterstand how this works. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.

A proxy usually sitzs between server and client and does some magic like filtering or caching. But of both (dhcp-server and dhcp-client) are in the same broadcast-domain (local link whatever you might call it) so the dhcp-server could simply answer the request and dnsmasq would not come into the game.

Or is there some logic in the pxe-clients to ask a second time, when the pxe-stuff was missing in the first answer ?

I'm slightly confused how this works.
