dual DHCP servers

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

I am not sure this is the place to ask, but i am hoping someone on
this list will know the answer.

What happens when you have two DHCP3 servers giving out dynamic IP on
the same subnet.

One is set as the "authoritative" server and the other is not.

will the non-auhortitative server always defer to the authoritative?

will the non-authoritative server detect that the autoritative server
is active and not respond to the DHCP request?


TIA,
