Failover partner state is showing an invalid date

[Dominique MARGOT]

Hello,

We encountered several problems with our failover DHCP servers (mainly error
messages such as "peer holds all free leases" while it should be enough IP
addresses available).

I dig through the logs and dhcpd.leases, and I found something strange.
Failover partner state is showing an invalid date on one of the server, not
on the second.
Partner state is correct, but the date is wrong.
dhcpd.log contains correct information about states and dates.

I guess failover communication is broken somewhere.  What could you advise
me ?

Both servers are running Solaris 10 - dhcp-4.1.0

Regards.
