Syslinux - Nov 2006 - pxelinux: Forward control to another PXE server

Hello,

We currently have a pxelinux setup, where our servers are offered a set
of firmware update and linux installation options, when an operator
configures them to do a network boot.

Now our Windows guys wants to setup another PXE/TFTP solution (Microsoft
ADS) to help them with their installations. They also need access to the
firmware update options from the existing solution, so I'm wondering if
it is possible to instruct pxelinux to load the PXE software from
another TFTP server and pass control over to that, if the operator
selects 'LABEL ads'?

I haven't been able to find any way to tell pxelinux to use another TFTP
server for loading images, but maybe I'm missing something?

Regards,
Anders K. Pedersen
