Hi Kraishak
Can you check on each dhcp server that you can reach the failover port
on the peer? eg:
on server1: telnet server2 <peer-port2>
on server2: telnet server1 <peer-port1>
where port and peer-port are set in the failover stanza of dhcpd.conf.
If this connects, ie is not blocked by any firewalls, etc, then
restarting one dhcp service should cause the pools to be balanced.
Could you post the failover clause from dhcpd.conf from both servers?
regards,
Glenn
