Let me be simple in my answer : You CAN'T use two DHCP servers in a single
network, because of the way the lease request is done. It's a broadcast to

Thanks Gerard. That means I'll have to get the existing DHCP server
to forward the PXE boot process to the Ubuntu server.

But, it is possible to affect in the DHCP server an IP for each mac
addresses. I think it's the way to go.

Yes, I know about this. But I am not sure how / if that will help
concerning the PXE boot.
