Hmm, just spotted this on the RedHat Bugzilla database for RH7.0:
"TFTP shutdown due to looping after multiple requests from same host"
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46699
It was closed as "not a bug" - this is a 'feature' of xinetd.

Not sure why the client needs to be *so* persistent in making
tftp requests though?

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Multiple TFTP requests.

I am using a etherboot boot image being loaded via rpld.
One of the things I have noticed is that I get about 10 tftp requests
all at once for the /tftpboot/vmlinux.xxx file. 

Has anybody seen this before and know what the cure is?
