Primary should be syncing the leases to the secondary (and vice-versa)
so both peers have the same MAC to IP mapping for the client. Normally
DHCPD doesn't purge/reuse IP addresses until it needs to, so as long
as you have sufficient IP addresses in the subnet then the client
should get the same IP it had previously.

If it's not then either your client is changing it's MAC address or
something else is causing DHCPD to reuse the lease once the client
releases it on shutdown, so it's not available when it comes back
online.
