The first thing to note is that the clients will save their DUID in their lease files, so once you
have gotten them to work on a given client it should continue to be happy, except if you
delete the lease file or the DUID from the lease file.

If there is enough of a gap in starting the clients then you can use -df with each of them pointing
to the other client’s lease file.  The first to start will create a DUID and put it into it’s lease file
and the second will pick up the DUID from that one.

If there isn’t enough of a gap then you might have to create your own DUID file for them to use.
