I've had it working, both with the DHCP server sending all boot requests 
to a newer server and with a specific hardware address set to boot from 
a non-default server but it has been a while and I'm out of the office 
for a week so I can't test anything now.  I think there is some quirk 
regarding the difference between the etherboot and PXE filenames that 
you need to work around and the easy way might be to copy the boot files 
to the same server.
