failover peer declaration with no referring pools.

[Glenn Satchell]

Are you using the same version of dhcp on both servers?

Can you please post your dhcpd.conf, or at least a representative
sample from it? We would need to see global declarations and, say, a
couple of subnets if you have lots.

regards,
