Actually, that's no how it works: you give a single tftpserver _name_ in 
tftpboot, and associate many IP addresses with that name in /etc/hosts

It's no implemented, sorry, the tftpserver in pxe-service must always be 
a single IP  address.

I can't think of a good reason why a future version of dnsmasq shouldn't 
support this, but it doesn't at the moment.
