Sure, works great!  I'm not sure if you got the TFTP config from the
gentleman who suggested it, but this is really dependent on what DHCP server
you are using.  For example, we use Cisco routers, and the option to add is:

    option 66 ascii "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

where the xxx's are the IP address (I don't think DNS names will work).


ISC's DHCP server is a little different:

    option  tftp-server-name "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX";

Yes, it should be tftp-server-name, even if you use FTP (or HTTPS, I
believe).
