Thanks to those who replied : Gillian Bennett Christophe Dupre Dave Miner Larye Parkins Crist Clark I didn't mention that I use Suns' DHCP. It seems that it's possible to have a primary and a secondary DHCP servers using ISC: http://www.isc.org/ http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~kevinm/dhcp/failover.html Another possibility with Sun's DHCP is decribed at: http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-4075/6jd69oaah?a=view In this case it needs to split the pool of IP addresses between both servers and to share the data store with NIS+ or NFS. Another possibility is to copy the data store regularly from the active server to a standby server. If the active server goes down, in.dhcpd can be started on the standby server (after editing the files in the data store to reflect the new server name). For now I'll use this strategy. It's easy to put in place, I can keep Sun's DHCP (I use the GUI and ISC doesn't have a GUI), and I got rid of NIS+ and NFS and don't want to implement them again.
