Depends on what you can do with the appliance and odds are the options are very limited. You might be best served by handing out DHCP to all clients from the LTSP server and disabling the DHCP from the appliance if possible.

Don't put the MAC addresses of the thin clients into the firewall
appiance, but do put them into your second (LTSP) dhcp server. Set the
second (LTSP) one to not-authoritative and all your DHCP clients should
be able to coexist happily. The non-LTSP ones will get their info from
the firewall appliance and the LTSP clients will get theirs from the
LTSP DHCP server (which could also be the LTSP server itself).
There are 2 ways I can see a problem here.
1) The firewall could sound out a DHCPNAK, which will cause the thin client to stop.
2) The firewall could send out a DHCPOFFER with an IP address, which the client will happily accept, and it still won't have a root-path, so you are still hosed.
You could muck around with vendor-strings in the dhcp server, but chances are, if you can't specify a root-path, you probably can't do much else with it either.

Is it possible to force my ltsp RAM image to use nfsroot directive in my pxelinux.cfg\default file instead of looking for it in the DHCP offer packet?
I've tried
label lts
kernel bzImage-2.4.22-ltsp-1
append init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 nfsroot=192.168.0.29:/opt/ltsp/i386 initrd=initrd-2.4.22-ltsp-1.gz
However, the dhclient apparents to ignore this parameter.
Thx. TJ
