"File Name" in dhcpd.conf in rhel
 

Is it possible to add two "filename" and "next-server" entries in /etc/dhcpd.conf in rhel5.0?

If you want to use different boot servers and files for different purposes, then you can include them in a group statement.

Search for "dhcpd.conf group statement"

Hope this helps.

I want to add two "filename" entries in dhcp.conf in RHEL5.0. One is for "PXE boot" and another one is for "Kickstart" configuration file. Both files are in the same machine. Is it also possible in "dhcpd.conf group statement"?.

Shouldn't the pxelinix.cfg/... file be able to specify any kickstart parameters that are required? What does your PXE bootloader configuration look like? I've never used kickstart, at least not knowingly, but I'm pretty sure the bootloader will have an intervening role to launch kickstart. Can your PXE bootloader config file show how that is done? Perhaps you can use some locally defined DHCP option(s) to pass along parameters that can be used by the bootloader &/or kickstart.
