Syslinux - Jul 2008 - tftp replacment

Hi all,
I have a running network boot setup using opensuse 11.0.
Recently we found that in some remote segments, downloading the initrd and 
vmlinuz takes a long time.

My question is, weather it's possible to replace tftp with some other
protocol
such as HTTP or similar ? This may be done by the pxelinux client after it's
been loaded using the standard tftp. In this way both initrd and vmlinuz will 
be downloaded faster.

Thanks !
Doron

P.S.
I saw something about gPXE, but couldn't find proper documentation.

Yes, that is possible. You need version 3.70
