Hallo, clemens,

Next try, with dnsmasq-2.55

dhcp-mac = set:fog, 00:0d:60:76:4f:1c

pxe-service = tag:fog,x86PC,"fog",gpxelinux,192.168.0.5
pxe-service = tag:!fog,x86PC,"Arktur",gpxelinux,192.168.0.1

Auto-select:

BOOT Server IP: 192.168.0.5
...
gPXE initialising devices

It recognizes the desired "next server", it tells the desired string.

But then it loads and shows the boot menu of server "Arktur", not of  
server "fog".

Even when I change the IP address of the second server (which is the  
DHCP server too) to 192.168.0.5 the system only shows the boot menu from  
server "Arktur" = 192.168.0.1

How can/must I tell the machine the place of the desired boot menu?

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
