You can run more than one DHCP server on your network for redundancy. I d=
o=20
this on a 600 station network with no problem. You just have to be carefu=
ll=20
to create exclusion ranges in each of your address scopes that keep dupli=
cate=20
addresses from being handed out. For example, you have a scope of 192.168=
=2E1.1=20
- 192.168.1.254....Put both scopes on both servers, but exclude 192.168.1=
=2E1=20
-192.168.1.127 on one, and exclude 192.168.1.128 - 192.168.1.254 on the=20
other.
