a few weeks ago I posted a message about a problem that I
encountered. I had a two server dhcp redundant/failover setup and I
deleted the dhcp.leases(~) files as I did not have enough room to
save them. ( I know a very stupid thing to do. no excuses).
I have been running on a single (with none failover) dhcp server and
want to return to a two server configuration. I am not doing DDNS,
so I don't have to worry about that now. The problem is that when I
restart both servers they STOP offering IP addresses, and I see a
lot of recovering messages on the logs.

When I start the servers, the logs show the following:Jul 28 07:56:36 D4FWWC1 dhcpd: Sending on LPF/eth0/00:15:c5:fe:57:bd/10.129.177/24<BR>

skip a few lines and I see the same message for most of the subnets on the dhcpd.conf file.
