wimboot: no bootmgr.exe

RE: wimboot: no bootmgr.exe
I am looking at replacing lpxelinux with iPXE. One of the problems I'm trying to resolve is the recursive booting issue.

We are using Infoblox and Solaris DHCP servers. The documentation for resolving the recursive issue for user-options only discusses ISC and MS DHCP servers.

I'm not sure if the Solaris DHCP server is capable of doing the "if" constructs of the ISC DHCP server...And no, migrating is not an option at this time.

Is there another way around it? This will be used in a multi regional organization with regional DHCP and distribution web servers, so compiling in a specific script is also not really an option, as then someone would have to maintain a specific iPXE build for every region.

I was going to resolve this problem with lpxelinux using DHCP option 210, so after lpxelinux loads, it would reference the supplied HTTP server from option 210 as to where to go next. Does iPXE make use of DHCP option 210? I can't find any reference to it anywhere.
