<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">If all machines/clients use fixed addresses, you can simply run two servers - you don't need fail-over.<br>
In this case, no matter which server replies, the clients will get the same addresses. There doesn't need to be any coordination between the two servers at all.<br>
<br>
[However, obviously, as you change the fixed address assignments, you'll need to propagate those changes to both servers.]<br>
