The cobbler server should be the PXE server, and that should help 
simplify things, no?

All the admin would have to do is set the next-server for the subnet to 
point at the cobbler box if he happened to have another PXE 
environment.   You could just document this step.

Somewhat unrelated, is Ovirt doing any DHCP management?   Cobbler has a 
built in feature for this that would probably be useful.  DNS also -- 
and it does support dnsmasq in addition to the BIND stuff.   This allows 
you to pin certain mac addresses to certain ip's and hostnames, just by 
creating cobbler system records with that information filled in.
