Reloading pxelinux via menu.c32

Hi All,
I have used menu.c32 to offer several booting
options to our users via pxelinux... the icing on
the cake would be if there was some mechanism
whereby the pxelinux boot could be restarted,
with the usual search for pxelinux.cfg/... files...
all without a reboot and going through POST.

Does anyone know if this is possible or if a comboot
module exists for such a thing ?

Cheers,

Doug
