- Is there a configuration option in bootp that will allow a
- client to get a bootp request from one machine and the first
- stage bootstrap from another machine. We had the impression
- that this is possible but I cannot find out how to accomplish this.
- We have multiple subnets and are willing to put a bootp server
- on each of the subnets. We would like the clients to boot off
- of a different machine than the bootp server.
-
- Thanks for any help.
