[K12OSN] DHCP and Client Booting

[Mel Wade]

I've got one server set up successfully and now I'm working on two more.

The other two are not standard setups as they only have 1 nic each and
will both be on the same network.  I'm attempting to use a third
server (non-ltsp) as DHCP for the entire network, including those two
servers.  When the client boots, I'm getting a "FTFP too many
packages" error.  I'm sure the problem is in my dhcp.conf file but I'm
not sure exactly where.  If anyone can look this over an give some
guidance, I would be grateful.  File is below.

LSTP is running K12LTSP 5.01EL
DHCP is running Centos 4.5 on a VMware server.
