There should not be any reason why you can't modify the windows dhcp server for the addresses you want, make reservations in the windows DHCP server for the mac addresses of your server, set the next-server for the reservation to point to the cobbler server and set the filename to pxelinux.0 (assuming BIOS here). I haven't done it myself, and Microsoft being Microsoft, there may be some weirdness in there, but it is in theory entirely reasonable. -Erinn
