I did a bit of digging and unfortunately, my enquiries didn't lead very far. As you point out, the HP version of tftp was enhanced with the -s option to allow clients to receive a reply with a different IP address, so that the tftpd could be setup in the HP-UX SG environment.

I wrote to the author named in the Linux man page for tftp:

Q: Is there an issue if the tftp client receives a reply from the server specifying a different IP address than the one that was requested, if the server is configured with an alias IP address?

A: "Not all clients will accept that. Some will, but many (most?) won't."

Q. I was wondering if there was an option that might not have been reported in the man page, or a way this could be worked around that you know of.

A. tftp-hpa will always attempt to respond on the same IP address that it got the query for.

Sorry that I could not help you with this further.
