<p style='background:#F3F3F3'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hey quick question on
that, we have two different netboot images up on our netboot servers, a 10.4
image that the PPC machines netboot to and a 10.5 that the intels netboot
to. That was the easiest division I could think of to make
sure that all machines netboot w/o and issue as about half of our PPC machines
would not be able to run leopard. In any case I’m wondering if load
balancing in the manner you were talking about would still work if I have
multiple servers that are all identical with the ID’s all above 4096 for all
netboot images? Or will it only work if there is one
image? Also will this work across subnets the
same? We currently are netbooting across subnets but only to one
server. Sorry for all the questions and thanks in
advance! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

As far as I can tell, the JSS will point new netbooting clients to the other
server, but how will it know to do so, and at what point does it start to auto
