I suggest you use dnsmasq. It can handle DNS DHCP and BOOTP. The best part
is that the configuration is darn simple. Here is a full dnsmasq config file
I use, comments, free:
##########################################################
# Specify the IP Range to be allocated for Nodes
# Please note that the interface(s) on which dnsmasq is
# being run on need to be on the same subnet as the
# range specified. For example if eth0 is 192.168.1.10 and
# the range you have specified is 10.0.0.x, then, dnsmasq
# will not dish out IP addresses!
##########################################################
dhcp-range=10.0.0.2,10.0.0.250,12h
##########################################################
# Option 3 of the dhcp options specifies the default route
# ip address
##########################################################
#dhcp-option=3,10.0.0.1
##########################################################
# Option 6 of the dhcp options specifies a name server
# ip address
##########################################################
#dhcp-option=6,10.0.0.1
##########################################################
# PXE boot options
##########################################################
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/tftpd
conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d
--------->8--------------------->8---------------->8-----------
Install pxelinux in /tftp and you are off! And don't miss instructions in
the dnsmasq comments.
All the best!
