I used to do this all the time with X Windows terminals.   Make sure 
that the DHCP response to the machine includes a proper netmask and 
default  gateway, and that the host that will be providing the OS is 
listed as an IP address.  (I don't know if the PXE boot will include DNS 
name resolution.)  You'll have to get the DHCP response to the machine 
via a new DHCP server or a DHCP relay.

If your host machine has a firewall on it, you'll have to insure that 
traffic from the other subnet is allowed on the interface that the 
client will be reaching.
