Syslinux - Apr 2005 - loading new config file or an NBP on another server

What are the time frames/progress on these?

Would it be possible for pxelinux.0 to accept command line arguments,
like:

KERNEL pxelinux.0
APPEND keeppxe conf=<new config file>

I also need a way to change the boot server ip that is left in the pxe
stack, i.e. I want something to the effect:

KERNEL <new server IP>::<some-PXE-NBP>
APPEND keeppxe pxeNewIP=<new server IP>


Thanks in advance for all the help and hard work.

Not per se.  It's apparently possible to make it look to the program it 
got a different DHCP response, but that's a lot of work.
