Well, you obviously can't configure it in the configuration file, since
we're talking about how the configuration file is located! You can send
a DHCP option to give it the name of the configuration file, *however*,
there is something wrong with your TFTP server. Under normal
circumstances, there is no need to timeout here - the TFTP server should
send back an error reply, and so processing the various nonexistent
filenames should take only a fraction of a second.
