Failover/load-balancing with dhcp client bug on "seconds elapsed" field

Not a bad idea! :)

I'm thinking how to do this exactly. I believe we should remove the
"failover peer" statement from that pool declaration, keeping the remaining
configuration the same on both servers' files. Both servers would answer to
all of the discovers, offering the same IP, regardless of seconds elapsed
field.

I'm I seeing this right?

Thanks,
Daniel
