Create boot.ipxe:

#!gpxe
chain http://your.webserver/menu.c32 http://your.webserver/menu.cfg

Create a menu.cfg in the syslinux/pxelinux menu style. Add entries like 
these:

LABEL esxi
   MENU LABEL Install ESXi
   KERNEL http://your.webserver/installesxi.ipxe
LABEL memtest
   MENU LABEL Memory Test
   KERNEL http://your.webserver/memtest.img

As you can see, you can load further iPXE scripts (the installesxi.ipxe).

Put boot.ipxe, menu.c32, menu.cfg, memtest.img and installesxi.ipxe to 
your webserver root directory.

Configure your DHCP server to hand out "http://your.webserver/boot.ipxe" 
as boot file name.
