[syslinux] TFTP support multiple NICs?

[DAN RUPP]

The scenario:

Installed a Ubuntu 5.10 Linux server with dhcp3-server, apache2 and tftpd-hpa to
serve as a mass Linux deployment station.  It can serve up to 200 PCs at one
time installing Linux using just one NIC card in the server.  Recently, we
wanted to expand our bandwidth to push out these PCs faster.

The problem:

If there is more than one NIC in the computer, TFTP will not work properly.  The
machine trying to connect to the TFTP server will give the following errors, an
'ARP timeout' followed by 'Connection cannot be made.'

Is there anyway to use more than one NIC (say like 5) without affecting the
TFTP?  Can TFTP use more than one NIC or is this not possible under tftpd-hpa?

Thanks,
