[Casper] load balancing servers

[Criss Myers]

Hi, 

If you make the netboot id above above 4096 and put the image on both netboot servers as their default image, then the netboot servers will auto load balance between the two, the client will pic the quickest image to boot from.

Anyone done this with casper yet through the JSS?  I want to have multiple netboot and image servers in one subnet and use mass edit for the auto run data.  So I have two servers set up, both on the same subnet but with different IP ranges on different DHCP ranges both behind NAT routers. 

As far as I can tell, the JSS will point new netbooting clients to the other server, but how will it know to do so, and at what point does it start to auto balance?

thanks,
