Right now, Anaconda sets vendor-class-identifier when it asks for an IP 
address. All it needs to do is use the filename that DHCP can return.

vendor-class-identifier is for vendors such as Red Hat and the Fedora 
Project. It has no implications for any other use. Here are needed 
snippets in dhcpd.conf:

class "anaconda"
         {
                 match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 
8) = "anaconda"
;
                 option vendor-class-identifier "anaconda";
         }
         pool {
                 allow members of "anaconda";
                 deny  members of "pxeclients";
                 default-lease-time 900;
                 filename "http://Fedora.demo.lan/5/i386/os/Fedora/";
                 max-lease-time 1800;
                 range 192.168.9.170 192.168.9.179;
                 option log-servers 192.168.9.4;
         }

It shouldn't be more than a few lines of code.
