+1 We're currently using this work-a-round to auto deploy ESXi nodes to different vCenter instances that happen to exist within the same VLAN. Managing this sort of configuration within DHCP became far too cumbersome.
To clarify, this functionality supports the use case of pxe chainloading; it needs the ability to specify remote servers.
Cobbler has a fine mechanism for customizing PXE Menu items for distros (/etc/cobbler/pxe/pxeprofile.template). It'd be nice if this could be generalized so that arbitrary snippets could be included. This would allow pointing to another pxe boot setup (think windows or even a vsphere autodeploy install).
Currently this can be hacked around by defining a dummy profile and providing /etc/cobbler/pxe/pxeprofile_dummy.template. But that's not a great long-term solution.
