Dynamic BOOTP leases have to be treated differently from normal leases.
Failover supports this, but our failover implementation in 3.0.x does
not.

Code presently comitted to HEAD (and subsequently will be released in
3.1.0 hopefully sometime this year) supports both BOOTP and RESERVED
leases via failover.
