Remote provisioning template support

Hi.

I am currently evaluating Foreman features. Is it possible to
use a remote kickstart/autoyast/preseed as provisioning template
or it must be saved to Foreman server? I could not find this
information in Foreman documentation.

Usually you'd store it in Foreman's provisioning template system, but
you could certainly edit the PXELinux template and point it to another
server.

The only disadvantage that springs to mind is that Foreman does some
provisioning steps (Puppet CA autosign setup, realm integration if used
etc.) when the client requests that "provision" template. If you're not
using that though, I think it'd be fine to host it elsewhere.
