hi, there
It seems that I have encountered the same problem with Floris Bos in the mailing list (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.ipxe.devel/1171).
My booting log shows that PXE stack has no problem with distinguishing the regular DHCP server and proxyDHCP server, and will download ipxe.pxe
from proxyDHCP server normally. But when running 'show next-server' under IPXE shell, the result comes out to be the address of the regular DHCP server.
In the mailing list, Brandon replied that it's something to do with the DNSMasq stuff. Is that true?  Or a bug of ipxe?
I am also using dnsmasq as the proxyDHCP server, and the dnsmasq configuration is as follows:
dhcp-no-override 
port=0 
log-dhcp 
enable-tftp 
tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot 
dhcp-range=192.168.1.0,proxy 
dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b 
pxe-service=x86PC,"booting from network",ipxe.pxe 


Thanks,
Peter Lin
