Yes; you are using undionly.kpxe.

Try changing this to

    if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
       filename "bootstrap.ipxe";
    } else {
       filename "ipxe.pxe";
    }

and place the ipxe.pxe binary in your TFTP server directory (i.e. 
wherever you have currently placed undionly.kpxe).

Please be aware that iPXE does not have native drivers for all NICs; it 
is possible that your NICs will not be supported natively and that 
chainloading undionly.kpxe is the only way to use them.
