Going into PARTNER-DOWN mode

Hi list,
I've just started looking over our failover-setup of two dhcpds
(isc-dhcpd-4.0.0). I've understood the meaning of PARTNER-DOWN and also
discovered that it has to be set manually.
However I can't set PARTNER-DOWN on dhcpd1 when dhcpd2 crashes/vanishes,
which is exactly what I need to do. I followed the advice here [1] and did:
connect
new failover-state
set name = "foo"
open
set local-state = 1
update
Upon which the server only switches into commuication-interrupted but
not into partner-down, which is needed in order to claim the other sides
ip-pool. So, the question: How do I switch into PARTNER-DOWN for the
local host?
Hope I made my problem understood
Greetings,
Jojo
