Focus on the goal, not on the path you think you must travell.

Yes, dnsmasq is libre software,  patches welcome.


Back to "TFTP unique root per subnet"
  Tag DHCP request from subnets with markers (a.k.a. 'tag') from that
  subnet.
  Set bootfile based upon tag
  Do known that bootfile may contain slashes, so several directory
  levels
  Have faith in TFTP client asking next file from same directory
