We have 1 RIS server with multiple subnets. Each subnet has its own DHCP
server. We have 2 DNS servers

When we try to pull down an image on the same subnet as the RIS server we
have no problem. But when we try from a remote subnet we get the error ' no
DHCP server available' But if you boot into windows you can release and
renew your IP without a problem.

We are a fully switched network, with cisco routers.

I remember reading somewhere that the RIS client computer sends a broadcast.
Which the local DHCP should respond to.

Can someone shed some light on this for me?
