GRUB2 facility to boot ISOs?

grub2, pxe, and default boot

Hey all! New to the list, and fairly new to Grub2. I've got about 400+ machines as part of a farm. They are re-imaged routinely on demand, each image a different preset for the role it needs to play (even swapping OS at times.) Traditionally, we used pxelinux to image this stuff remotely. I r
