  There's nothing in the protocol about "primary" or "secondary"
servers, or any kind of redundancy.  DHCP servers are all peers.

  It's possible for a DHCP server implementation to implement failover
mechanisms themselves, but the clients are not aware of this, to the
best of my knowledge.  I don't think MSFT's DHCP implementation does
anything about this, either (short of running a full clustered server
config, I suppose).
