I am running two debian woody dhcp3 servers (version 3.0+3.0.1rc9-2.2) that are configured to use a common address pool with fail-over. Whenever one of the servers fails, the other server takes over correctly. After a certain time running as stand-alone, the server stops issuing addresses with an error message "peer holds all free leases". The pool is about 6 times larger than the total number of machines.
I have no idea what is causing this. I hope someone more knowledgeable can point me into the right direction.
