Quoting you: This is not actually true. RFC 3315 was written with the clear anticipation of the possibility that a DHCP client might talk to multiple DHCP servers. It doesn’t specifically require this behavior, and it doesn't always make sense, but if you have two managed prefixes on a wire, I would expect a DHCP client to try to configure both of them, and if two DHCP servers each manage one of the prefixes, I would expect the DHCP client to wind up getting configurations from two servers. I thought you were asking for host changes to support multiple servers (even if RFC says they should, and I’m not sure it does, I have yet to find one that does).
