Getting Peer hold all free leases

[Abdul Khader]

Hi Kraishak
Check the communication is happening on port 647 on both the servers using
tcpdump -i any port 647
Please also check if there are multiple entries my state and partner state.
Feel both the servers are not in sync. Can you also check if the discovers
from client is landing on both the servers ? If you are using split 128
then the traffic should land on both the Nodes. Check your ip helper
(relay) to make sure it's configured to send to both the Nodes.

Regards
