-------------------------------------^ IP of nfs server to use?

Can you convince the admin of the other dhcp server to add to its
configuration the fact that when nfs-root is asked for (from your
client, or any client), the IP of the nfs server (which afaict,
happens to be the same IP as for "your" dhcp server), is served?
AFAIK, that's the way dhcp is designed to work...

The way you phrase your problem leads me to believe that something
makes the assumption that nfs service is supposed to be provided by
the same machine (IP address really) as the dhcp response is received
from. If that's the case, that's a bad assumption and should be
fixed...
