[syslinux] PXE over HTTP instead of TFTP - flip flopping OS boots

Is there a way to boot PXELINUX 100% over HTTP instead of TFTP? I can
pull over pxelinux.0 via HTTP (DHCP config) but all the config files
are pulled over via TFTP.
DHCPD config file example:
filename "pxelinux.0" ; # boots via TFTP
filename "http://10.1.1.10/pxelinux.0" # boots via HTTP
My goal is to alternate booting between Linux and Memtest for some
hardware stress testing. On the webserver I want to generate the
config file and send it back on the fly via HTTP to decide which OS to
boot. I can't do this via TFTP.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
