I have about 110 users accessing this segment. &nbsp;So all I would need to do is enable DHCP on server 2, create a scope different then scope on server 1. &nbsp;Or do I just set exlusion ranges on each that won't interfere with each other? &nbsp;DHCP discovery by clients will just get the first handed to them but both will update DDNS automagically?

Yep. Create the same scope and set exclusions on each. In your case I guess the 80 / 20 IP scheme would work :D<br />
<br />
You may also want to consider expanding your 10.x subnet so you can have total redundancy.

I use W2K server and just setup a secondary DC. &nbsp;I believe I can simply add DNS to it for redundancy but I would also like to add a redundant DHCP server. &nbsp;My current DHCP server issues IP address to 10.1.1.100 through 10.1.1.254 subnet 255.255.255.0 with reservations 1-100<br />

I am looking for the easiest possible way to do this. &nbsp;Thanks

What is the best way to set up a redundant DHCP server on a second DC in a domain?

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
