OK,  but is there really a problem when you don't have failover configured
on these specific one lease pools ? Thought that it might work.

As an ISP its hard to make this selection based on what client/PC the
costumer hooks on to his dedicated port on our network. Because the product
we sell is he always get the same IP no matter what client/PC he connects.
The CID/RID on the other hand is fully under our control. That's why we try
so hard making the "semistatic"* leases CID/RID based.

*semistatic is my homemade definition on static IP assigned by DHCP not
hardwarebased, compared to static where it is configured manually or
hardware based.
