Well, I have a dns server such that all my host names have ips.  In my 
dhcpd conf file, I map hostnames to MAC addresses.  When the machine 
does the PXE boot it receives its host name, and I use host names when 
working with fai-chboot.  So that's the infrastructure solution.  Let me 
know if you want me to explain more.
