Dear Developers,
First of all thank you for coding such an awesome piece of software.

I am having an issue where I need to provide /32 DHCP request where the 
gateway is outside the subnet.

For example consider the following DHCP offer;
  IP: 10.0.0.50
  Netmask: 255.255.255.255
  Gateway: 10.1.0.1

iPXE doesn't seem to communicate right. It times out when trying to get 
a HTTP request at http://10.1.0.1/. If I boot the same machine and 
network config into Linux or Windows I can access the URL.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Josh Jameson
