Glenn, this worked perfectly!

Here is my working config:

class "PXE" {
 match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";
 next-server my.local.tftpd.server.org;
 filename "pxelinux.0";
 max-lease-time 600;
 option dhcp-parameter-request-list = concat ( option
dhcp-parameter-request-list, 1c );
}

The "next-server" and "filename" variables were absolutely necessary.

Thanks again,

Masao
