The pxe-pdhcp is like a nullmailer and it is not like exim, postfix nor
courier-mta in the way it works.
dnsmasq is designed to provide DNS and optionally, DHCP. So its focus
is DNS. ProxyDHCP only setting is a special configuration of its use.
This pxe-pdhcp is like nullmailer ... just install it and let it do a
single thing, proxyDHCP. No special configuration needed.
