Require help setting Jumpstart server.

Hi Guys,
I am a newbie in Solaris.
I have to setup jumpstart server for one of my company's clients.
I have gone through a lot of documentations but I am faced with a rather peculiar problem.
All the documentations have single server acting as boot server, config server and install server.
However the client network has multiple subnets.
So having a single boot server is not feasible.
Also I do not want same system to act as config and install server.
So this is the basic scenario.

CS = config server
IS=Install server
BS1=Boot Server 1
BS2=Boot Server 2

/export/install------This is the directory which will hold the OS image (where should be this dir ...on Config server, Install server or Boot server)
/export/config-------This will hold the sysidcfg, rules and profile file (where should be this dir ...on Config server, Install server or Boot server)

/tftpboot -----file? (Where should be this dir ...,on Config server, Install server or Boot server)

/etc/ethers ---containing the Ethernet this should be on boot server I guess

/etc/inet/hosts ---------- containing the IP this should be on boot server I guess (Where should be this file ........on Config server, Install server or Boot server)

Also where should I run add-install-client (on Config server, Install server or Boot server)

I know i need to share install and config dirs, Can they be in any subnet? ( I can ping across subnets)

Also please suggest any thing else needs to be done?
