Selective forwarding with dhcrelay - PXE Master Server

I have created a patch for dhcrelay to allow you to specify which server 
to forward to based on the MAC address of the requesting client.  This 
allows you to have clients on the same subnet that require different PXE 
servers to function.  For example, if you use Microsoft RIS and Altiris 
on your network you would normally have to have the clients on different 
subnets as you can not have two PXE servers on the same subnet.  With 
the patch, you could have all the clients on the same subnet.  Only the 
PXE servers need to be on a different subnet.

The patch and details on how to setup the network are available here:
