If you have enough clients in one location to make it worthwhile,
I'd park a boot server nearby.  One of the machines you are using
as a client would probably work if it has a hard drive.  You can
either also let it provide DHCP for the local boxes or tweak the
main dhcp server to give it out in the next-server and root-path
options for that subnet.
