WDS works sometimes / sometimes not

Hi! I hope you can help me.

I have a VmWare cluster running windows 2012 R2 servers (and 2012 r2 AD) with several VLANS (server, Client, Management and Printers, extralan) HP coreswitch and a ASA firewall in front of the extralan.

DNS and DHCP on a DC server - with option 66 and 67 defined

WDS 2012 r2 on a memberserver (IP 10.10.10.21) - Settings: "Respond to all client computers", "Continue the PXE boot unless the user presses the ESC key"

The problem is:

On the Client VLAN (physical clients connectet to a HP core switch / and virtual clients in vmcluster) WDS / PXE boot works 99,8 out of 100 times

On the Server VLAN (virtual clients) WDS/ PXE works 1 out of 100 times this the output:

Downloaded WDSNBP from 10.10.10.21

WDSNBP started using DHCP Referral.
Contacting Server: 10.10.10.21 (Gateway: 0.0.0.0)..
No response from Windows Depolyment Services server.
Launching pxeboot.com...

Press F12 for network service boot.
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM


IF I press F12 I get a light blue screen for a while and the computer reboots.

The same thing happes with clients on the extranet - but it works like 50 / 100 times

Any ideas ? The thing that bothers me is that it works sometimes - and sometimes not
