It shouldn't offer to clients it is not aware of, you may have to make it non-authoritative as well. Basically you only allow the clients to connect to specific DHCP servers. I know it works on larger networks - I'm doing it on a University campus with a campus DHCP and one for the terminal ser

I'm using a router/firewall appliance as my dhcp server. As a result, it is not possible to specify the root-path DHCP option. 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
