Failover static and dynamic lease

[Marcos Renato da Silva Junior]

Thanks for clarifying.

In my case the second choice also work well.

My project is to use two Raspberry Pi to manage my home network.

So no problem with hosts changing address and enough addresses.

If a server fails, then clients will be unable to renew leases and will eventually get a new lease (different address) from another server. For this to work, you need enough addresses that if a server fails, the other server(s) have enough addresses to service all the clients.
