well the dns name has been set to that address in BIND
DHCP entry is like:
group {
# PXE-specific configuration directives
next-server tftpserver;
filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0";
# You need an entry like this for every host
# unless you're using dynamic addresses
host vm00 {
hardware ethernet 00:0C:xx:xx:xx:xx;
fixed-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
}
}
