You're using a *very* old version of ISC DHCP, which hasn't been 
supported for many years. There are *lots* of bug fixes for the
failover functionality in newer releases.

I strongly recommend simply upgrading to a newer release. Please
note that 3.0.5 is *not* interoperable with newer versions (so you
cannot run a 3.0.5 server as part of a failover pair where the
other server is 3.1.x or newer).
