Okay, I have come to agree that tftp-hpa needs some kind of execution support. The two alternatives which have been proposed in the past is a flag in the regex map to run a program and deliver its output, and the other one is a flag in the regex map to serve as an HTTP proxy (get a file via HTTP and deliver via TFTP.) At the moment, I'm thinking the HTTP proxy might be the best solution;

Are there any open source efforts ( I haven't found any) that have a tftp server with a mysql backend? I'd like an incoming pxelinux request to give the tftp server the mac address, and then it performs a query to find out which configuration file it should get. Of course it would be great if some day tftp-hpa would integrate with libmysql.. Thanks, James James S. Martin, RHCE
