Solaris Install over WAN(where to keep wanboot.conf file for DHCP client)

I am trying to configure my jumpstart server to install Solaris 10 on a T1000 machine(target) over WAN. I do not know the IP address of the client, i wish the client to get the IP address from DHCP.

how do i configure my /etc/netboot hierarchy. One option would be to keep the wanboot.conf in /etc/netboot folder, but i dont want to keep it global.
I do not know the IP address of the client, ( or the network address), i know the MAC address of the machine.
Is there a way out to still keep wanboot.conf for that specific client, without making it global ??

NAME
dhcp_release - Release a DHCP lease on a the local dnsmasq DHCP server. SYNOPSIS
dhcp_release <interface> <address> <MAC address> <client_id> DESCRIPTION
A utility which forces the DHCP server running on this machine to release a DHCP lease. Send a DHCPRELEASE message via the specified interface to tell the local DHCP server to delete a particular lease. The interface argument is the interface in which a DHCP request _would_ be received if it was coming from the client, rather than being faked up here. The address argument is a dotted-quad IP addresses and mandatory. The MAC address is colon separated hex, and is mandatory. It may be prefixed by an address-type byte followed by -, eg 10-11:22:33:44:55:66 but if the address-type byte is missing it is assumed to be 1, the type for ethernet. This encoding is the one used in dnsmasq lease files. The client-id is optional. If it is "*" then it treated as being missing. NOTES
MUST be run as root - will fail otherwise. LIMITATIONS
Only usable on IPv4 DHCP leases. SEE ALSO
