I am not concerned about having the PXE client working
with the DHCP server, as when you set the client BIOS to
boot using PXE, it will look for a DHCP server and find it
through DHCP broadcasts. However, how would it know what
server to contact to get the image and also which image to
choose, even after the DHCP server gives it an IP address,
using which it will contact the other servers/services?

060, 066, 067, 043 and use the appropriate values within
those option on my DHCP server. Can anyone verify this,
please?
