Also, with all of the money that you can save on technician costs and hardware by implementing something like pfsense, you might be able to afford an additional layer of transparent firewalling or some other security hardware/software or redundancy that you might otherwise be unable to afford.

Please note that this may not just be a matter of preference to have the second 
pfsense box designated as secondary dhcp server.  I am also hoping it will 
resolve the issue I reported earlier of running out of free IPs from the 
dynamic range even before the stash is exhausted.  I have completely abandoned 
using dynamic dhcp in my setup because of this outstanding issue--did not get 
resolved even after dhcpd package was updated to the latest version.  Thanks.

I am running 1.2-beta-1 snapshot 05-11-2007 on 2 pfsense firewalls carp'ed 
together.

I configured dhcp server in failover mode for both firewalls, following 
instructions.

I do not see on the web interface how to set the second firewall as secondary 
dhcp, so when I check the resultant /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf file, both 
firewalls consider themselves as primary.

My preference is for all clients to take their dhcp address & configuration 
from the first firewall, and only contact the second firewall when the first one is 
down.

I could manually edit above dhcpd.conf file, but I don't want to keep doing 
that everytime I reload the configuration.

Would someone please look into this issue?  Thanks.

Woops, I misread this originally.  Please ignore me.
