Let me explain the solution.
Each domain is located on a switch/router with a dhcp-relay.
on each domain are two subnets configures (primary and secondary 
addresses)
10.10.1.0/29 primary    GI and GW address: 10.10.1.1
10.11.1.0/29 secondary           GW address: 10.11.1.1

The dhcp relay allows to use more than one dhcp server but only to 
define one GI address.
So for the first server everything is fine. The GI address is within 
the pool. But the Backup Server
will receive discovers from the GI 10.10.1.1 and has to offer addresses 
from 10.11.1.0/29. Selection of which /29 pool
should be done by option82. option82 will be filled by the dhcp relay 
with a string for the remote-id.

Thats the way i want run my configuration.

Sorry for confusing.
