don't forget you can define PXE config files based on the IP, IP range
or MAC address of the server. This means that you don't have to select
the correct pxeboot option from a PXE menu it will select the most
precise config file automatically.
see the following
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#Configuration
also you can pass additional arguments on the pxeboot line so that you
can read from your pre and post scripts using /proc/cmdline.

Gotcha. Thanks all! You guys gave me the answers I needed to know and hear.
For the immediate futre I will likely go with multiple pxeboot options
which then picks the specific kickstart file. It's easy for me to put a
label on the server that says 'web' or 'mail' etc. Then just pick the same
from the menu.
Eventually I'll delve deeper into custom and automated setups.
