Sorry, but I'm not sure anymore for now of what exactly you want to
achieve...

This afternoon, I've understand that you want an application server
different from the boot server. (And I'm sure this setup works since
I've tried myself.)

But now, I begin to think that you could also well be after something
different, like :

- a boot server (providing the kernel and the initial ramdisk to the
  TCs) ;

- a "root" server (providing root image through NBD) ;

- an application server (providing the desktops and the applications
  to the TC's users - eventualy residing on the same machine as the
  root server).

In others words, do you want to split the multiserver setup between
machines *before* the point where it is habitualy done with LTSP, as
pointed out by this afternoon suggested readings ?

If you're after that septup, I'm not sure if it's possible... (At
first sight, I see no means to give the TC's a root server different
from the boot server.)

But if I'm right OTOH, what could be the reasons to not follow the
so-called Multiserver setup ?


P.S. cc'ing to the list where your question will have more audience.

A+
