Not true in our experience; you can have as many DHCP servers as you want.
We have 6 servers for our LTSP clients and each is a DHCP server. The thin
clients connect to a "random" box when they boot up, so the load gets
distrubted amongst the servers. This worked fine under RH9 and now is
working in a mix of RH9 and FC1 servers, with no special software installed
to handle the load balancing. Like the ad says "Isn't it nice when things
just work?" I haven't fathomed how it all works but I think it probably has
something to do with the load on the server. Sometimes the most powerful of
the servers gets a bit greedy takes more clients, but a quick kick of the
dhcpd sorts that out.
