(resending this because the list put it on hold due to its large size, so I
hosted the files instead of attaching them)

No apologies needed, your helping me for free as fumble around trying to get
this working and I appreciate it.  I got a little farther and appear to be
stuck again.  By commenting out all of the lines for my Non-Apple PXE boot
configuration, removing the vendor class specification and changing the
options, the machine finally network booted my Apple NetBoot set.

Here is the working configuration:
dhcp-option-force=43,08:04:81:00:00:67
dhcp-option-force=60,"AAPLBSDPC/i386"
dhcp-option-force=17,"nfs:192.168.33.1:
/var/lib/tftpboot:Diag106NetBoot.nbi/NetBoot.dmg"
dhcp-option-force=67,"Diag106NetBoot.nbi/i386/booter"

After that I changed the configuration to add the vendor class specification
dhcp-vendorclass=apple-boot,"APPLBSDPC/i386"
dhcp-option-force=apple-boot,43,08:04:81:00:00:67
dhcp-option-force=apple-boot,60,"AAPLBSDPC/i386"
dhcp-option-force=apple-boot,17,"nfs:192.168.33.1:
/var/lib/tftpboot:Diag106NetBoot.nbi/NetBoot.dmg"
dhcp-option-force=apple-boot,67,"Diag106NetBoot.nbi/i386/boot

I tried "APPLBSDPC/i386", APPLBSDPC/i386, APPLBSDPC/i386/*,"APPLBSDPC/i386/*
None of them work.
I have been watching the output from syslog after adding --log-dhcp as you
suggested and can see that my Mac is returning: AAPLBSDPC/i386/MacBook5,1
dnsmasq-dhcp[7702]: 24437 Vendor class: AAPLBSDPC/i386/MacBook5,1
