I was using primary/secondary as an example, but my understanding is that whichever answers first, that's the answer.

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). -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
