Failover Questions

[Jonathan Brockmeier]

We are getting ready to move from 1 DHCP server to 2 that load balance.  
I have been having a headache for the last couple of days on some question:

1)  In the failover peer section defining the connection between 
primary+seconday and secondary+primary should that be the same "name" on 
both the primary and secondary servers?

2) Right now we use subclass statements to put various hardware 
addresses into different pools.  We write them to an include file and 
restart the server right now.  This seems like a very dangerous thing to 
do on two different servers and maintain better overall service.  Does 
anyone have examples of how to dynamically do this via omshell or other 
ways to do this?

3) Does actions done in omshell (on primary) get propagated to the 
secondary or they need to be done via omshell on both?
