Is it possible to use an alternate network interface for PXE? We use a
separate DHCP enabled provisioning network that connects the host to an
install server that has the TFTP and DHCP smart proxies installed. This
network is only used during build time, once the machine has its regular IP
the provisioning network is removed. This is only for physical hosts.
Currently we use shell scripts to accomplish these tasks but I want to move
as much as I can into foreman. The only part I can't seem to accomplish is
this one.
This is Foreman 1.2 on CentOS 6.3. If any other details about my
environment would be helpful, please let me know.

if you use tokens, you could identify the system regardless from which Ip
it came from, granted, you would need to handle the dhcp for your self, but
you might just point it to a foreman managed tftp server… if you do that,
you would need to enter the mac address of the deployment network in
foreman as the primary interface.
another way could be with ipxe (as a custom script), but you would still
need to identify the system somehow, and thats either by one time tokens or
by mac address.
