failover compatibility

[Glenn Satchell]

No. The failover protocol changed somewhere in the 3.1 to 4.x range.
Details would be in the RELNOTES file distributed with the source.

Essentially you need to shutdown and upgrade both failover hosts at the
same time. You can pre-check the format of dhcpd.conf and dhcpd.leases
using dhcpd -t and dhcpd -T to see if there are any issues wit the new
version. In general, the files *should* be compatible with all newer
versions.
