If that internet router DHCP does not hand out "filename", you should be OK, 
because your terminals should just ignore offers from there. In that case, 
set up a dhcp daemon on your terminal server, declare it "not authoritative", 
DO NOT use a range statement, but one

host myhostname {
 hardware ethernet 00:c0:1d:c0:ff:ee;
 fixed address 192.168.12.34;
 filename "/vmlinuz.ltsp";
}

like stanza per host. Be sure to use IP addresses that are not used by the 
router (they mostly can be configured to only use e.g. ....100 to ...199 only 
or similar. Even easier it would be to switch off DHCP altogether on that 
box, but if that's no option....

If your router hands out filenames, this is going to be ugly. In that case, 
you need to use alternate DHCP ports ....  should be documented in the LTSP 
wiki.
