Ok...to clear up any confusion and to get it "down on paper"...I have
documented the DHCP load-balancing/failover process that I've used in
setting up my Edubuntu servers recently. I've actually used this setup
for a few years now, first with K12LTSP (Fedora) and now with Edubuntu.
It works great

It's an awesome product, don't get me wrong, but it can be quite resource

on a LAMP server. Installing Moodle on an
