Not true at all, when adding systems to cobbler you can specify the
MAC
address (this is used to create the pxe file for Linux).
This is the pxelinux.cfg file pulled in by the host and this information
is lost as soon as the menu is loaded.
This could be
used for the rewrite rule as well. For instance:
re ^winxp\.sif \x.sif
This might create a problem for profiles that don't have a MAC though...
maybe do one XPLDR for systems and one for profiles (with different file
names used internally, ie. winxp.sif and winxp.sys, then rewrite
winxp.sys...)
Note that \x is the heximal *IP* address, not the MAC address. Like I
said before, this could only be used in combination with fixed-addresses
(as that nails the host down to the heximal IP address it's going to
get), but doesn't satisfy my requirements.
