The latest livecd-tools[1] includes a new tool to convert a
LiveCD iso
image so that it can be booted over the network using
PXELINUX.

The way it works is to bundle the complete ISO image inside
the initrd. 
The kernel and (bloated) initrd are downloaded using PXE in
the normal 
way, and the init script finds and loopback-mounts the ISO
image and 
booting continues as normal.

This script has been added to the latest livecd-tools
release from 
Fedora and seems compatible with the livecd-tools used to
create the
CentOS 5.1 LiveCD.
