I want to have multiple Netboot servers one subnet. How do one go about that. On the other hand, if I use one Netboot server, will that support 300 clients at the same time.
Multiple Netboot servers on one subnet

Best answer by acidprime
I would recommend no more then 50 per server most days. You can load balance net boot images by creating index numbers of 4096+ which is just to say if you have multiple net boot servers on the same subnet hosting images and your images are indexed at say number 5000 then the client will do the load balencing by the first to respond ( assuming your N key booting ). If you need more granularity I have an example load balancing script with Cocoa UI that might want to check out if you really need to do this without the Apple Scheme. In your case as well its also worth nothing that at 300 if your doing erase and installs you might look into multicast imaging.
