John,
Just set up two DHCP servers on the same segment but have each one lease out a non-overlapping subset of the dynamic IP addresses in that range. This works perfectly. If you'd like, I can explain how this actually works behind the scenes once I get to a real computer (on a blackberry right now). Let me know and hope this helps.

Subject: DHCP Failover
I was wondering if by using the (ip dhcp database tftp://x.x.x.x/filename,
maybe in conjunction with the update arp - secure dhcp..), could I create
overlapping scopes, and use this for redundancy? This file will store the
binding information, but I'm wondering if the dhcp servers consult this file
before leasing an address, or is it simply warehousing the binding
information.. Can someone think of some other way to create a
redundant/failover dhcp solution using ios dhcp?
