Description Can I use ProxyDHCP with my above setup? According to the docuementation i dont think i can…but any help/advice will be most appreciated. Currently our DHCP services are being run on a switch…

If you can run dnsmasq, you can run ProxyDHCP.
Do note that current dnsmasq version does not support BIOS + UEFI booting, you need to choose one.

The first option would be if your switches can support sending dhcp options 66 {next-server} and dhcp option 67 {boot-file} then I would use them. It is the cleanest solution.
If you can’t modify your dhcp server AND your clients AND fog server are on the same subnet then you can use a proxyDHCP server like dnsmasq. I created a write up for dnsmasq for Centos, but the configuration file should work for Ubuntu too: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6376/install-dnsmasq-on-centos-7
If your fog server and target computes are in different subnets and you have a single dhcp server, you need to configure your router’s dhcp-relay or dhcp-helper service and add the dnsmasq server on as the last dhcp server in the chain.
