Yes, it is certainly possible. Just configure your DHCP server w/o a
range statement, and don't include a fixed-address in any host
declarations.
Rudimentary example:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
filename "pxelinux.0";
next-server 192.168.1.3;
host picture-frame { hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00; }
}
This kind of configuration will ignore DHCPDISCOVER requests. Those
will be handled by your router. Then, the client should send an
additional DHCPINFORM request, in which your new server will return
these other options.
