It's not hard at all to do this and it's a much better way of running a
lab of more than 10-15 machines. Two small servers will be faster than
one big one.
Just run dhcpd on one of the K12LTSP servers and turn it off on the
other one.
In your working dhpcd.conf file add some lines for the workstations you
want running on the second server. What you're really doing is
identifying the machine by its MAC address, giving it a specific ip
address and then using the "option root-path" line to tell the client to
get its file system from a different server.
Here's an example from our server.
host ws003 {
hardware ethernet 00:D0:09:30:28:B2;
fixed-address 10.171.0.3;
option root-path "10.171.0.15:/opt/ltsp/i386";
kernels are specified in /tftpboot/lts/boot/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/
filename "/lts/pxe/pxelinux.bin";
}
