Yeah, but EVERYTHING is being done by IP. And not just on this 7.1 Kickstart/DHCP/PXE server but also on our 6.2 production Kickstart/DHCP/PXE server. So, if this is the problem, which I'd sure love someone (ANYONE!?!) from RH to chime in on, its pretty ridiculous. The central problem is that duplicating a config from 6.2 to 7.1 has broken so miserably. Anyway, the decision has been made that 6.2 will be replacing 7.1. The 7.1 NFS is too flaky.
