Here's a slightly sanitized version of what we are using:


class "WDS" {
  # Only match PXE clients
  match if (substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"PXEClient");
  next-server 192.168.1.100;
  filename "Boot\\x86\\wdsnbp.com";
  log(info, concat("Client ", binary-to-ascii(16,8,":", hardware), "
classed as WDS client. Relay was ", binary-to-ascii(10,8,".", packet(24,
4)), "."));
}

We actually have several PXE servers and use subclassing to tie each
network to a specific PXE server, but in general the above should work.
