I've tried a few variations on /etc/cobbler/dnsmasq.template
Here's my latest:

$cat /etc/cobbler/dnsmasq.template
# Cobbler generated configuration file for dnsmasq
# $date
#

# resolve.conf .. ?
#no-poll
#enable-dbus
read-ethers
addn-hosts = /var/lib/cobbler/cobbler_hosts

dhcp-range=10.0.0.128, 10.0.0.254
dhcp-option=3,$next_server
dhcp-lease-max=1000
dhcp-authoritative
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
dhcp-boot=net:normalarch,pxelinux.0
dhcp-boot=net:ia64,$elilo

$insert_cobbler_system_definitions

And the resulting

$cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf

# Cobbler generated configuration file for dnsmasq
# Thu Aug  9 15:42:24 2007

# resolve.conf .. ?
#no-poll
#enable-dbus
read-ethers
addn-hosts = /var/lib/cobbler/cobbler_hosts

dhcp-range=10.0.0.128, 10.0.0.254
dhcp-option=3,10.0.0.21
dhcp-lease-max=1000
dhcp-authoritative
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
dhcp-boot=net:normalarch,pxelinux.0
dhcp-boot=net:ia64,elilo-3.6-ia64.efi

and
$ cat /etc/ethers
00:50:56:00:00:FF       10.0.0.66

and
$ cat /var/lib/cobbler/cobbler_hosts
10.0.0.66       ctl01.sms

Still pxeboot complains: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received.
