2) I think something with your config is broken. If I were to [wildly] guess, it's a \
physical/network layer issue. 3) I have a very small setup with 100+ clients, and it \
certainly doesn't work this way for me. 

There are some issues when a single server is up and in "communications interrupted" \
mode and you've got a tight IP pool and the leases were fairly evenly balanced \
against both servers. [I've posted, in the past, about an event that was kinda ugly \
for this client while running a 4.1 version [IIRC]. *However* those problems should \
be vastly less of a problem with 4.2+ - and you're not having an issue with \
communications interrupted anyway.

I am having an issue with communications interrupted. When I pull the ethernet cable, \
both the primary and secondary servers move from normal to  \
communications-interrupted. But in your initial post on this thread you said: 

> "After both the primary and secondary
> had moved from communications-interrupted to normal"

It can't be both ways. Either they are CI, or in a Normal state. It can't be both.
Like I said, logs would probably be helpful. [Unless someone else has a lightening \
bolt moment and can tell you exactly what's wrong without them - but I doubt that. I \
hope the logs above help.


---
You didn't answer the question: "It can't be both ways. Either they are CI, or in a \
Normal state."

But the logs you posted seem to indicate that both servers believe they're in \
"normal" mode when the DISCOVER	requests come in. Yet they only show the primary \
getting a single DISCOVER [the last one] while the secondary gets (4) over more than \
30s.

Does a packet capture show the primary server actually receiving all the DHCPREQUEST \
packets that are going to the secondary? It would be odd [typically a sign of lost \
packets] that the secondary would see (4) DHCPREQUEST's but the primary would only \
see one. It would be very helpful to know if those packets are actually arriving at \
the interface, but being ignored by dhcpd, or if they're not ever getting there at \
all. If it's the latter, it's probably not a dhcpd problem.

Searches on "lease in transition state expired" appear to find incidences of that \
output, as a result of bugs, but I could only find those kinds of problems recounted \
in *really* old, non-supported versions. [i.e. 3.0.x]

Are you running a currently supported version, and what version is it?

<td><span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;">2) I think something \
with your config is broken. If I were to [wildly] guess, it's a physical/network \
layer issue.<br> 3) I have a very small setup with 100+ clients, and it certainly \
doesn't work this way for me. <br> <br>
There are some issues when a single server is up and in "communications interrupted" \
mode and you've got a tight IP pool and the leases were fairly evenly balanced \
against both servers. [I've posted, in the past, about an event that was kinda ugly \
for this client while running a 4.1 version [IIRC]. *However* those problems should \
be vastly less of a problem with 4.2+ - and you're not having an issue with \
communications interrupted anyway.</td> </tr>

<td><span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;">I am having an issue \

<span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;">But in your initial post on \

<br>
</b><span style=" color: #000000;">It can't be both ways. Either they are CI, or in a \
Normal state. It can't be both.<br> Like I said, logs would probably be helpful. \
[Unless someone else has a lightening bolt moment and can tell you exactly what's \
wrong without them - but I doubt that.<br> I hope the logs above help.</td>

You didn't answer the question: "It can't be both ways. Either they are CI, or in a \
Normal state."<br> <br>
But the logs you posted seem to indicate that both servers believe they're in \
"normal" mode when the DISCOVER &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;requests come in. Yet they \
only show the primary getting a single DISCOVER [the last one] while the secondary \
gets (4) over more than 30s.<br> <br>
Does a packet capture show the primary server actually receiving all the DHCPREQUEST \
packets that are going to the secondary?<br> It would be odd [typically a sign of \
lost packets] that the secondary would see (4) DHCPREQUEST's but the primary would \
only see one. It would be very helpful to know if those packets are actually arriving \
at the interface, but being ignored by dhcpd, or if they're not ever getting there at \
all. If it's the latter, it's probably not a dhcpd problem.<br> <br>
Searches on "lease in transition state expired" appear to find incidences of that \
output, as a result of bugs, but I could only find those kinds of problems recounted \
in *really* old, non-supported versions. [i.e. 3.0.x]<br> <br>
Are you running a currently supported version, and what version is it?<br>
