[CentOS] DHCP static hosts and subnet configuration

Of course, the failover is set up and working correctly. Please note
that I am not new to dhcpd3 configuration.

I have already disabled failover configuration during debug state.

That's what I thought, too. But it does not work if there is a host
declaration for that MAC in another subnet. Maybe it's just a silly
bug.

It is.

This behavior occurs on all clients, so I don't think so.
