Q: NetInstall images not appearing.
Hey all! This is my first time configuring a NetInstall server and, as far as I can tell, everything is configured correctly--but none of my images are appearing. That being said, I do have my server configured using a static IP that is on a different subnet than the rest of my client IPs (172.16.200.x for servers, 192.168.142.x for clients). Honestly, I'm not sure how to proceed and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Any tips?
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

'man bootpd'
The short version is that you need to set up a machine on the client subnet that relays bootp requests to the server.
The setup would look something like:
1. Edit /etc/bootpd.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>relay_enabled</key>
<array>
<string>en0</string>
</array>
<key>relay_ip_list</key>
<array>
<string>172.16.200.xxx</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
2. Bring up bootpd:
$ sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist
