That would likely depend on who is the network admin.  If it is mostly a 
windows shop they'll have a separate machine for every service.  If they 
are unix/linux guys, they'll run a bunch of stuff on the same box and 
may be replacing the existing dhcp server with the ltsp server.

Yet another alternative is to add the next-server option, etc. to the 
existing DHCP server on a flat network.

The tricky ones are where you have multiple ltsp servers with a common 
NFS mounted /home and network authentication and want fail-over and load 
balancing among the clients.
