Phil,
I gave a presentation last month on how to set up a DHCP + TFTP server.
Using syslinux 6.03-pre* to support both Legacy and EFI PXE boot.
Here's the link to the presentation. My slides are there.
http://2014.texaslinuxfest.org/content/creating-legacy-efi-pxe-server-using-pxelinux
The presentation models a small lab-sized env. I start simple; supporting
legacy PXE boot only. Then I get progressively more
complex.
It was a 35 min presentation. So I don't go into separating the DHCP
server and TFTP server on to separate hardware. Like
you'd do in a large env. But I give the DHCP settings and the TFTP
structure, you should be able to figure it out from the supplied
content.
BTW, I couldn't have worked out all this content without the generous
assistance from this mailing list. So Gene, HPA & team, if you see any
value in any of these slides -- you're free to use them anyway you see fit.
