[Dnsmasq-discuss] Estimation of TFTP Server Load Capabilities

[Brian Rak]

One option here is to use iPXE ( http://www.ipxe.org/ ) to grab the 
netboot files via HTTP (or some other protocol) instead of relying on 
TFTP.  There's some extra configuration work here, but serving up the 
365KB iPXE image to clients via TFTP is a lot less work then serving up 
the entire kernel/initrd package.
