If I've understood correctly both

- what you wish to achieve, and

- how the software works,

then I think you may be wishing for something which is not available.

Static DHCP leases are defined in `host { ... }` declarations.
As you probably know, a common method for ensuring resilience is
to provision the same `host { ... }` declarations in the configuration
of each of a number of servers.

Dynamic leases are assigned from pools defined in `pool { ... }` 
declarations.
Failover peer relationships are also defined in `pool { ... }` 
declarations.

The `host { ... }` and `pool { ... }` declarations don't (or shouldn't)
intersect, as the former are in global scope, and the latter in subnet 
scope.
Consequently, even identifying the appropriate failover peer to notify 
when
a static lease is (re-)assigned (let alone delivering the notification) 
is
not possible.

I hope I've not misunderstood, and that this helps.
