I cannot speak for the Solaris DHCP services, but if you migrate your
DHCP to the dhcpd (https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp) - packages are
available at sunfreeware.com and opencsw.org - you can add something
like the following to your DHCP configuration:

-- cut here --
failover peer "internal-failover"
{
  primary; # this server is the primary DHCP
  address 192.168.128.1; # internal address of primary
  port 520;
  peer address 192.168.128.2; # internal address of secondary
  peer port 520;
  max-response-delay 30;
  max-unacked-updates 10;
  load balance max seconds 3;
  mclt 1800;
  split 128;
}

subnet 192.168.128.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
  pool {
    failover peer "internal-failover";
    deny dynamic bootp clients;
    range 192.168.128.20 192.168.128.254;
  }
}
-- cut here --

Then the two DHCP servers enter failover mode and will communicate to
each other with every new lease. As soon as one server does not work the
other will takeover the work. This way you don't have to split your IP
ranges. In addition it includes a kind of load balancing for the DHCP
service.

cheers,
jens
