RE: DHCP Stateful Configuration

I think the client will accept the first offer it receives. You can play with the DHCP ping timeout (that verifies an address is unused) on a router by router basis so that one is always used. But if that router fails, the other one will transparently take it's place. It'll be better to make the pools non-overlapping though, otherwise the client may timeout waiting for the backup router to find an available address.
