	No.  The priority you suggest is a kind of state, which the two
	servers have no way of sharing.

	You can do this with one DHCP server (or a failover pair, I guess).
	I'll retrieve the relevant fragments of how we do it, but I'm busy

	something from me by Tuesday morning.

	Hint: "deny known" ...
