load balancing is easy, when using bootp/tftp. I have done it several
times. Just execute the bootpd on several machines. Execute a tftpd on
each machine, too and configure the bootptab that the local tftp server
is used (which is the default, unless you specify anything else). Let
the tftp servers all serve the same files.
When the client get more than one response to their bootp request, it
chooses the first one. If a server gets loaded, its responses usually
will be late.
