How long do you expect your DHCP server to be down? Longer than your lease time? If so, why?
You do have your scopes on other machines as well right (not putting all the eggs in the same basket sort of thing)?

I've had the following posed to me by my BIND-minded DNS administrator: DHCP Failover - both NetID and InfoBLOX can share DHCP state information between multiple DHCP servers so that if one goes down, the other can pick up where the first left off. When last I checked, Microsoft didn't support this functionality. But I'm sure there are other ways to make sure a client always has a DHCP server available. What methods do you use?
