Yep, this is from my ISC DHCPv3 dhcpd.conf:
Note, this causes pxelinux to search first for the full mac address;
if that fails it does the normal ip-based logic and fallback to default.
Note the mac address should not be zero-padded (just put :e: not :0e:).
# PXELinux config file becomes "pxelinux.cfg/{MACADDRESS}"
# eg. "pxelinux.cfg/1:58:fa:84:cf:55:e"
# This way we can have dynamic addresses yet still physical-machine-specific
# configs
option pxelinux.configfile =
concat("pxelinux.cfg/", binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", hardware));
