Tory (and everyone else):
I think this is the code you want to mod, if my python's not laughable:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/pxegen.py
214: try: 215: ipaddress = socket.gethostbyname_ex(blended["http_server"])[2][0] 216: except socket.gaierror: 217: ipaddress = blended["http_server"] 218: kickstart_path = "http://%s/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/%s" % (ipaddress, system.name)
I say cut that out or mod it, and the string will be preserved. Fix the DNS to match, and you're golden.

But it seems simple enough that I just don't think anyone has ever gotten the correct answer (many incomplete web posts, questions around this). That's either because there really is no answer, you work around the issue. But if DHCP has the information, why can't Cobbler use it?
Also I'm not adding systems, so it's not a necessary step for me, a server is unboxed and imaged.
Thanks for the response. Tory _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/admin/lists/cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org
