gPXE doesn't set the field.
ISC's man page says the option can be used to implement a secondary
DHCP server that is only used if the primary is not responding. The
secondary only responds to requests if the secs field is larger than a
threshold, giving the primary a chance to respond first.
I believe gPXE already supports a priority DHCP option that could be
used in the same way. The secondary server should have a lower
priority than the primary, so gPXE chooses the primary when available.
Joshua: I think you know the DHCP code and how priority works. Any ideas?
Setting the secs field shouldn't be difficult though.
