problem with failover server selection

Yes, I think that would work.

I assume that you are trying to load-balance the clients across two 
routers. So you could also split the pool so that you maintain the same 
settings on both server, eg:

pool {
   failover peer "failover-open";
   range 10.253.40.5 10.253.41.254;
   option routers 10.253.40.1;
}
pool {
   failover peer "failover-open";
   range 10.253.42.5 10.253.43.254;
   option routers 10.253.40.2;
}

Over time this would average out, although initially addresses would 
tend to come from one pool first.
