Hi all!

I have a special need for a boot media that can be used in a multiple
subnet environment without using DHCP options to find the boot server. We
have the PXE server option configured on most subnets to find a network OS
for our thin clients. I am implementing a new imaging server and this
normally works via DHCP so I need to be able to pxe boot to this. My
question is, would it be possible to boot to a flash drive with gpxe or
something similar installed and have it request an IP address via DHCP but
then have a statically configured entry for finding the boot server? Thanks
in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question!
