I was talking on #scotlug about using isc-dhcpd3 to provide boot information to PXE clients on friday, and a few people asked to see the configuation I've used to acheive this.


Here is the meat of it - this is included from dhcpd.conf


class "pxeclients" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000";
next-server 139.153.xxx.xxx;
filename "OSChooser\\i386\\startrom.com";
}


The filename string shown allows clients to boot from a microsoft RIS server - this can be changed in specific pool or host declarations to supply different boot images (e.g. pxelinux). next-server can also be changed to direct clients to use a different tftp service.
