It's not iPXE that does it; there's no way for iPXE to construct an iBFT that 
won't trigger the erroneous behaviour in Windows.

sanbootconf is the iSCSI boot configuration driver for Windows 2000/XP/2003.  
It should also work on later versions of Windows, though it isn't necessary 
since the equivalent functionality is included in Windows by default.  
However, if you do install sanbootconf then it should work around the routing 
issue.

No, this is the right place!
