        Well, we were going to use both 'whether the helper address was configured' and whether the MAC address of the NIC (which would've been configured dynamically via an application in which it gets added/removed from the configuration for the DHCP server) to determine whether it should be PXE booted, and we weren't really initially thinking of autoinstalls we were thinking of having an autobooting rescue environment similar to a busybox shell which booted which would allow us to resolve issues remotely on a plethora of linux machines which are not local.

Sorry I wasn't clear from the onset.

Thanks,
