Hi all,

	We have made additional progress with our DHCP failover setup.  By
increasing the "load balance max seconds" parameter, it appears that
only one of the two servers is responding to requests now.  Failover
still works, but I'm not seeing the "load balanced" messages in the
logs.  Is this normal?

	Are there any tools out there for testing this sort of scenario?  I'm
looking for something that can properly send DHCPDISCOVER packets,
respond appropriately by accepting the lease, etc.  Anyone know where I
can find such a thing?

Thanks,
