I'm not sure how the admins implemented that, but from my own
experience, usually only one DHCP server is active at any one time.
The other DHCP server will act as a failover in case the main server
fails. So usually having 2 DHCP servers are not a problem (most of the
time, only the primary server will be answering DHCPREQUEST).
