Request: How to build a basic Provisioning Server for cable modems

Hello, i'm very new on this, so i need to build a basic provisioning server for cable modems, this is for lab only, just for provisioning and firmware update.
Anybody can help me to build one?
If someone could help me, below are my contact informations.

I would use a linux box. Install tftp, ntp, dhcp serve, dns, webmin for management. You'll need to be familiar with a firewall etc. You will need a modem boot configuration file, bin format, if you search on here you can find a couple to make a basic bin.. It would be nice if someone here would upload some good ones!

The DHCP server will need to be configured with the following.. to auth modems just add another mac address/host

shared-network "yournetwork"
{
subnet 10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 #your subnet
{
default-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 10.10.10.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.10.10.10;
option broadcast-address 10.10.10.255;
next-server 10.10.10.10; # Your provisioning server
option time-servers 10.10.10.10;
option ntp-servers 10.10.10.10;
option log-servers 10.10.10.10;
option time-offset -28800;

pool
{
dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
range dynamic-bootp 10.10.10.100 10.10.10.249;
}
host firstcustomer
{
hardware ethernet 00:08:00:00:00:00;
filename "modemboot.bin";
}

host secondcustomer
{
hardware ethernet 00:0B:00:00:00:00;
filename "modemboot.bin";
}
}
}

Good luck!
