Thanks for the quick response. I am moving forward with my learning.
The response below is of course absolutely correct.
One thing to point out -- Since you are running DHCP on the cobbler
server, this would be an excellent time to try out cobbler's dhcp
management.
Just edit /var/lib/cobbler/settings to change manage_dhcp to '1', then
edit /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template to include the correct dhcp setup
information -- just replace any IP addresses that are wrong and leave
all the "$" fields as is, as cobbler will template those out for you.
Then run "cobbler sync". Cobbler will now be managing your dhcp
configurations, so whenever you add a system in cobbler, you can also
specify the IP address it will get (optionally) and you won't have to
hand edit your dhcpd.conf file again.

From 'man dhcpd.conf'
The next-server statement:
The next-server statement is used to specify the host address of the
server from which the initial boot file (specified in the filename
statement) is to be loaded. Server-name should be a numeric IP address
or a domain name. If no next-server parameter applies to a given
client,
the DHCP server's IP address is used.
To summarize, you could leave it null if your dhcp/pxe server are the
same, else mention the IP address of the pxe server. If cobbler
insists
on the next-server line, then try using your local IP address.
