The PXE specification, which also describes proxyDHCP, can be found for example 
at:
http://www.pix.net/software/pxeboot/archive/pxespec.pdf

The "proof" that the proxyDHCP server should be used as the TFTP server,
is the fact that shimx64.efi was indeed downloaded by the UEFI firmware
from the proxyDHCP server. This is true for all UEFI and BIOS firmwares,
and for iPXE and any other client that understands PXE services.

Shim just needs to follow suit and use the same TFTP server where it's
located at.

** Changed in: shim (Ubuntu)
