Whatever DHCP server you use would have to support the next-server field.. if it is set, that is the TFTP server that it will go to to fetch the first tarball, in this case it would be the cobbler server. I am not aware of any feature of cobbler that will automatically sync an external DHCP server so you might have to coordinate manually. When we were using cobbler we were doing all static IP's but we just configured the cobbler server to give back the same IP's via DHCP as the machine would have normally, and our network guys were OK with that.
