Cobbler Setup Question

[jacob yong]

Hello,

I am trying to setup a PXE Boot Server using cobbler, but do not have any
control over our DHCP server. Is it still possible to setup with this
constraint?

It is, as long as whoever maintains your DHCP server creates the records 
for you with next-server set (pointing to the cobbler server).

What if my network administrator doesn't want to configure the DHCP server
to point it to my PXE boot server? NetOps at my company is pretty strict
and won't easily allow this configuration, so I'm trying to find a
workaround.
