[CUWiN-Dev] [apb@cequrux.com: Re: Solved -- Re: ISC dhcpd fails to work for LIBSA DHCP request]

Ross, Dan, Bryan,

You probably remember that problem we had with PXE booting, where the
'next-server' field was set to 0.0.0.0.  With Alan's solution, below,
we do not have to duplicate the DHCP/TFTP server's address in the
configuration, so customizing the configuration is easier.

You can use

	next-server = option dhcp-server-identifier;

to make it automatically use the server's own IP address,
so you don't have to hard code it.
