I guess I am sending out feelers to see if anyone else has an openSUSE diskless boot sequence (boot images on an openSUSE tftp server) that involves a Windows dhcp server.
Hmm. So you have control over the Windows DHCP server ...
In so much as we can control what it tells devices on our subnet. But is it subnet-wide, which is causing part of the problem.
If this were me; the first experiment I'd try is cutting it out of the loop altogether.
Not possible. On this network are other windows machines that require the Windows dhcp server.
What is it that they require from the Windows DHCP server that can't be supplied by the Linux DHCP server? I'd point out that Microsoft has a large number of papers on Linux/Windows working together, all the way up to implementing the Windows AD using a Linus MySql-backed Linux based LDAP server; and of course the LDAP server and the database can be mirrored :-) I know of some firms that have implemented their Windows file servers on "Big Iron" *NIX like HP-500s with SAMBA for reliability and performance.
