No it won’t work. NetBoot doesn’t use DHCP to find its server, it uses BSDP. What you need to do is add the ip address of your NetBoot server as an ip-helper-address to the router serving the subnet with the Macs on it. That way the router will pass on the BSDP request packets to your server. Alternatively, if you don’t have a router that supports helper-address commands, you can use the bless command to tell the Mac directly which server to boot from. The syntax is “sudo bless -netboot -server bsdp://your.server.here”.
