Description

Expected behavior for the entry:
supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.cfg/01-bc-30-5b-d9-18-17";

Actual behavior for the entry:
supersede server.filename = "pxelinux.0"

The tftpd server files are all correctly generated with the mac address, just the dhcpd entries are made incorrectly.

I am not sure you are right... the next server option defines the filename which the bios (during pxe boot process) will request.
requesting a text file will not do anything.. rather requesting pxelinux.0 would load the syslinux application which in turn would request the specific configuration file for that host (pxelinux.cfg/01-bc-30-5b-d9-18-17).
