Can you provide an example subnet declaration for this?  I'm not sure I
follow how this works..

I'm running into a few problems right now.  If I merely add the
PXEClients class and have no allow/deny statements in the pool
declaration, it appears to work fine.  If I put a "deny members of"
message, then it denies anything declaring itself as a PXEClient from
getting an address.  This appears to be ok as well, though it would be
nice if they could still get a DHCP address, just not the PXE server
information.

The big problem is that if I put an "allow members of" in the pool
declaration, it then denies everything except PXEClients.  I can remove
the "allow" and leave it open, which would work, but we're looking to
possibly have multiple PXE servers, so I need to be able to define the
pxe server information for each matched class.

I *think* the subclass declaration would help here, but I'm not 100%
sure how to make it work.
