[Dnsmasq-discuss] BOOTP and NFS Root Server (for LTSP)

[Rhaurison Bergamin]

I had tried this option..
At station the root server still appears as 192.168.57.1 (dnsmasq server)
and root path (just PATH) as "192.168.57.252/opt/ltsp/ubuntu_6.10_i386/"

The correct should be root server as 192.168.57.252 and root path just
"/opt/ltsp/ubuntu_6.10_i386/"
I have looked into source code of dnsmasq and I haven't founded option to
send root server's IP.

Is there an option to set the default IP that dnsmasq send (if not
specified) to another IP not his self (got by /lan/) ?
