WDS bootstrip file locaion by IP

We have two WDS setup on two different servers, each server have the image as a share folder. We only use the WDS to boot in the PE and point it to the share folder to apply the image. Is there a way to set the bootstrip to set the "location" using the host ip range. I saw online you can do the defaultgateway and assigned a location type thing. As all these systems are using the same gateway i cant really use that, but is there a way to set it so if a certain IP is being used it will point to a different server. I'm just not sure how else to best to do the load balancing on the image share.

we have a total of 4 ip octect.
10.10.10/22

So i was thinking using the first two using one server and the last two to use the second server.

Unless you guys have a different ideas.
