Is it possible to create a DHCP Failover Cluster between a Linux(Ubuntu) based server and a Windows Server 2012R2 based server. My idea was to include a new data into the dhcp.conf data to exclude a specific part of the area.
E.g. a company has a big network 10.10.10.0/20 with nearly 4000 clients.
As a result my network goes from 10.10.0.0 to 10.10.15.255.
Now I want my Linux- based DHCP Server to exclude the area between
- 10.10.0.0 - 10.10.4.255
- 10.10.10.0 - 10.10.10.255
And my Windows Server 2012R2 should be responsible for this part.
I revently read about a failover cluster between 2 Linux- based DHCP Server and between 2 Windows- based DHCP- Server but I did not found a source for a mix between 'em.
Thank you for your time.

// EDIT: Of course I meant to split a scope like 10.10.10.0/20.
Only the parts 10.10.0.0 - 10.10.4.255
and 10.10.10.0 - 10.10.10.255
should be processed by the Windows-based DHCP- Server.
dhcpd
on the Ubuntu and enable the pre-staged scoped on the Windows box? Within an hour, everything will be transitioned to the Windows box and you can keep the Ubuntu box in service withoutdhcpd
turned on. I think you are overthinking this one.
