You can match on the IP/MAC address, can't you? So we could

at least use a custom sif for systems?
Under "FILENAME REMAPPING", in in.tftpd's man page:
\i The IP address of the requesting host, in dotted-quad notation (e.g. 192.0.2.169).
\x The IP address of the requesting host, in hexadecimal notation (e.g. C00002A9).
This would imply your nodes get reserved DHCP leases which isn't feasible for most situations (such as multi-subnet setups since host declarations are global and not subnet specific).
Dangit, just realized that \x is the IP in hex format, not the MAC... back to the drawing board :\ This would still work if you specify both the mac and IP, but I don't know how many people do that currently.
