That is what I was looking for.  It is our intention to move the cable  
modems out of the dhcpd.conf file and into the dhcpd.leases file as a  
dynamic omapi configured lease.

It has been a while since I touched failover, but will the omapi  
statement have to be run on both peers or will it replicate through  
the failover protocol?


Thanks,
