PXE-compliant boot server request?

Hi!

I'm struggling with the automatic network installation setup at our  
institute, which requires more PXE-compliance than currently offered  
by etherboot. To be specific, it requires the PXE_BOOT_ITEM selection  
to be present in the DHCPREQUEST, and it requests via  
DHCP_DISCOVERY_CONTROL that neither broadcast nor multicast be used  
for that packet. I'm thinking about adding that functionality, but  
there are two ways: hard-coding the specifics for this setup or  
handling the involved protocol. What do you think? Does this have a  
chance of inclusion?

Ciao,
                     Roland
