There's always brute force: make hardware-address entries for the
terminals you want to force to a specific server.  Or you could
probably go by vendor-tag if the numbers happen to work out for
you.   I've always thought it should "just work" to have each k12ltsp
server run its own dhcp server with non-overlapping ranges (this
is different from the backup dhcp server scenario).  I think the
current dhcp server defaults to being non-authoritative and won't
NAK requests out of its range, so whoever answers first should
win.
