Please don't hijack threads in future, please post a new thread.

In response to your issue stop using keepalived. DHCP failover
requires that BOTH dhcp servers receive the broadcast messages, so
your IP helpers must point to BOTH dhcp servers. Once you fix that
dhcp failover will work as expected.
