I'll assume you mean add a 2nd DHCP server :)
But in either case, nope, not possible. DHCP requests are about as
advanced as a drunk guy shouting.. Whoever shouts back firsts gets it!

You'd have to seperate the address spaces/networks somehow, so that
the DHCP clients cant see the other server. Orrr, maybe, you might be
able to create havoc, in reserving all the addresses based on the
MAC's, and having the scope limited to that exact amount. If one dhcp
server is down, the other wouldnt be able to hand out an address as it
has none spare and no matching reservations! But thats a high
maintenance way of doing things, youd have to track each network
device connecting and leaving your network :(
