You ought to be on the good half of the split ;-)
More seriously, you can have as many servers as you like, but be aware
that:
1° the client will pick ONE server (the closest) and get every
information from it. Consequence: you cannot use one server to
distribute ip addresses and another one to distribute the dns and
ntp servers.
2° the client will try to stick with one server as much as possible. If
this server is unavailable when the lease expires, it will look for
another one.
3° as a consequence, if you want to have several servers, you should:
- duplicate the ipv6, dns and ntp fields on every server,
- split your ipv4 address range in n (where n = your number of
servers) and make each one distribute leases for (1/n)th of the
range. This is due to the lack of synchronisation between the ahcp
servers (necessary to survive a network split).
