Do you have two ip helper addresses on the same interface? Does that really do any good or does the first one just get used all the time? Or do you mean two helper addresses, one on one interface and one on another. > I have 2 Novell Netware 5.1 servers as DHPC servers.

You need to find out why this is happening. Do the clients attempt to renew, i.e. send the DHCP requests or are they just silent? If the DHCP clients attempt to renew and their server (i.e. the one that their helper address points to) doesn't respond, it might help to change the helper address to broadcast to give the other server a chance to reply, assuming the servers are on the same LAN. The other router would have to forward directed broadcasts for the broadcast to end up on the LAN. But it wouldn't be advisable to make this change without knowing why the problem is happening and what negative side effects could occur from the change.
