Getting Peer hold all free leases

With lots of subnets, all using failover, I see this error fairly often. I
am using a vendor IPAM solution, so my fix is to remove the failover server
from the subnet config, push out new dhcpd.conf files, then put it back and
push again. Under the covers, that actually does:
- Remove the subnet completely from the second server, and reload dhcpd.
The server will drop all the leases for that subnet since the subnet is
gone.
- Remove the "failover" line for that subnet on the primary server and
reload dhcp.
- Add the failover line back in and reload the primary.
- Add the subnet to the secondary again.
That is what works for me.
