If you disable discovery/unknown hosts on both of the pxe servers, you should be able to define the machine in only one of the pxe servers and boot it reliably. I've mixed Ironic and Cobbler managed hosts on the same network this way.

We manage clouds using PXE (at least) and we want to deploy ironic which also uses PXE. We just want to deploy Ironic clouds aside adjacent to other clouds that do not use Ironic.
