	I would be inclined to agree, except for two things:

1.  Why is it happening on the secondary and not the primary?  They are the same version of the same distro.

2.  Why is dhcpd sending an exit code of 1?  That is why systemd thinks there is a failure.  Dhcpd (or any daemon) is supposed to send an exit code of 0.
