Thanks for your replies. I think I was confused by this and still am:
If I setup a reservation from within the scopes of one server and client
starts to get addresses from that server. I am concerned about the event in
which the DHCP request is handled by the second DHCP server (for any reason)
then the second DHCP server not being aware of the reservation assigns it an
address from its pool.
Could you explain this? I now know there is no point adding a reservation
from outside the pool on the second server..
Thanks
Davidner

let's get simple! if you give it an ip address it won't ask for one

Let's take a look at a possible scenario, just to make sure that I
understand you.
Server A has a range of say 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.99
Server B has a range of 10.0.0.100 - 10.0.0.199
You have a client that always uses 10.0.0.200
Since neither server has .200 in its range of addresses, it will never
be able to assign it, and therefore you do not require a reservation,
but only a static IP Address on the specific client. If it is a DHCP
client, then you must add the address you want it to have to either of
your scopes, and then create a reservation for that address. What you
must avoid is a scenario where the same IP Address exists in both
scopes. If both DHCP servers contain identical IP addresses within their
scopes you need to redefine the scopes as it will be possible for IP
conflicts to occur in that scenario (IE the same address could be handed
out twice, once by each server).
Hope that helps...

Now if I use IP address that belongs to either of the scopes then
couldn't
the other DHCP server assign an IP address from its pool when the DHCP
request goes out.
Thanks

Why would you add a reservation for an IP outside of either of the
scopes? If the address is outside of the scope, it will never be
assigned by either of the servers.

I have two DHCP servers running mutually exclusive scope of IP
addresses. If
I want to add reservations for IP (that do not belong to either scope)
do I
need to add those reservation to both servers OR just one server?
Thanks
