You can use the 'next-server' option in your dhcpd.conf file to point the workstation to a different server. > > This is iportant in large networks like my university network where there > already is a dhcp server, machines have their external addresses and I > just want to do a relatively small additional network with a server (the > application server with X, ftfp, nfs and everything that ltsp needs) and > terminals that may boot under Win (if people need it) or as linux > terminals. > > I tried that yesterday and I failed (at anover university in my town) just > because that: the etherboot, after initializing, wanted to get the kernel > from the dhcp instead of my server.
