Actually, something else that would make life easier would be if there
a way to specify an http url for the pxelinux config file (i.e., the
place where 'default' and all of those more specific files are
sought).  That is, I'm downloading gpxelinux from host A, but I'd like
it to find 'default' at http:/host-B/foo/bar/.  Is this possible using
209/210, or by some other means?
