DHCP Clustering

[eaglefan2000]

I have 2 parent DC's. 2000 Advanced Server. How do I make the 2 DHCP servers aware of each other so that a client has 2 choices to reach a DHCP server, both with the same pool but not handing out redundant addresses? I have set up dhcp servers before but know nothing about clustering.

Why do you not just use the 80/20 rule? Or look at this ms doc on clustering

80/20 rule sounds ok but why not config a cluster for dhcp if you have the servers to do it?

Can only cluster if the DHCP server is cluster aware.
