Thanks. I have been searching the manual - but did not find any 
information on which information is shared over the communication 
channel. However digging in once more I found "load balance max seconds" 
which suggest that time since the the first DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPREQUEST 
is used if the communication channel is not reliable.

As the dhcphelper distributes DHCPDISCOVER to both server I guess my 
worries has no reason.
