Also a search in google for approx. 1 day could not provide me with proper configuration information. As it appears to me, the directives in dhcpd.conf file are ignored but instead looked up from LDAP. Yet, in LDAP I could not find proper configuration page.

You need to set the DHCP root-path option to
"iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-02.local.home:945a211e0-4cf8-8eb4-2325a44e2ac5".
I have no idea how this works with an LDAP configuration, though; I
don't think I've seen that syntax before.

What does your LDAP database look like? Is there really such an
enormous number of machines that a flat-file configuration won't work?
