as mentioned by akeh, this a method to specify which image to load on which machine.
If you want that a specific machine get it's code from a specific JS, you can define it in the /etc/bootparams file. IN this file is mentioned from which JS which kind of code is downloaded (root=..., install=..., ...)
I'm looking at it from a security point of view, i.e.
I have 1 development JS server and 1 production JS server and I want to ensure that other groups only build new clients from the production server unless I allow them to 'test' from the dev JS server.
So looking at the answers, I should lock down the rules file on the dev JS server and only allow specific machines to be added to the rules file.
Does that seem correct or is there a better way?

You can, for instance, use the hostname keyword in the rules file:
hostname your_host1 begin-script1 profile2 finish_script1
hostname your_host2 begin-script2 profile2 finish_script2
or you can use the model keyword if you want to specify the jumpstart per hardware model:
model SUNW,Ultra-5_10 begin-U5_10 profile-U5_10 finish-U5_10
("uname -i" will return the "model" for a machine.)
