The network infrastructure is such that these 400 servers are spread over multiple vlans in order to spread the servers over multiple routers, etc. Normally i would be able to have dhcp forwarding enabled, which MIGHT have solved my problem, but in our environment this would be a huge no-no. So, in an effort to get around that problem, i have a few dhcp-relay servers running, one on each of the subnets (vlans) in this environment So, when kickstarting a box that sits natively on the same subnet as the yum/ks server - this works, nfs is found, mounted, and the kickstart works. Now, for ANY other box, not sitting on the same subnet, this fails, even though i can see the dhcp requests getting there from the relay servers, the nfs mount is not able to be found, nor mounted, so the kickstart fails.
Are you sure the DHCP relay is working? What happens outside of a kickstart install?

[repeat as necessary; try doing a manual install and note at which point it breaks]
