And related:<br>
What steps for having one of the DHCP servers fail and get replaced<br>
from a "from-scratch" new server. [Assume no backup of old<br>
server/lease-file etc.]<br>
<br>
...From related discussions - it appears you can just (re-)configure a new<br>
peer and bring it up - and they'll sync up fine. [Ignore complications<br>
around DNS/DDNS/Master/Slave etc.]<br>
<br>
Yeah this sounds right, the secondary server will be down so you can go ahead and set the primary into partner down. Rebuild your secondary and then when the DHCP configuration is back in place start up DHCPD and it should start to resync automatically with the primary.<br>

<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">You say above, you'd put the *primary* in partner down???<br>
Do you mean secondary? <br>
Then rebuild and bring up the secondary again. And once the secondary comes up out of PD state it will re-sync...<br>
<br>
Or perhaps you really *do* mean the *primary* - I'm not sure.<br>
