shure! But you have to specify them manually.

And that's the Problem. I need to avoid this! There should be the same entry
for any client. Differences exit in the different pxelinux configfiles.

The best thing for me would be to not even care about the DHCP Server (it
should just give me an IP and a Name of a boot-image). Anything else can be
handled by the boot Server then.

With ISC dhcp 3.0 it would work fine using the method from pxelinux.doc but
unfortunately I do not use this Software.
