now in every network it is good to have only 1 dhcp server, if you have 2 and each having a different configuration, you start running into troubles and the network client pcs will start to cough and get sick, and that wouldnt be nice especially during the comming xmass holidays.
Actually, multiple dhcp servers are recommended for reliability. The client talks to the first one that responds. Normally, each server would have it's own non-overlapping address pool, but it it possible in some circumstances, to have them share a common pool.
