Here at the university, we have a centralized RIS (Remote Imaging Server? Microsoft?) that provides a means whereby Tech Support can instruct a client PC's BIOS to boot off the network (PXE) and then pull down a Windows image for that PC for a fresh "rebuild".
In my test lab, I've set up a Debian box with dhcpd3 and a tftp server. (Be aware I don't know what I'm doing.) I've configured /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf to feed fixed IP addressed to specific client machines via their MAC layer addresses. Here's one section of that conf file:
host bi-19x {
hardware ethernet 00:03:47:16:e2:58;
fixed-address 150.252.x.y; # x & y to protect the innocent
filename "/lts/2.4.22-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0";
}When I boot the client pc ("bi-19x"), it gets the IP address 150.252.x.y from my dhcpd/tftp server, as indicated by the BIOS's PXE messages. But then, instead of finding the pxelinux.0 file on my dhcpd/tftp server, it finds the campus's central RIS server instead.
How do I get my client to get my tftp offering instead of the RIS offering? BTW, the RIS server is on a different network segment.
Thanks!
