 Sorry, I had to re-read your original posting ...

 The best way to set this up is to have a minimal dhcp.conf on both servers
 that contains global definitions and the failover section, and then includes
 another config file that contains everything else - the shared-network block
 with pools, groups etc. This second config file is the same for both servers
 and you need to keep it in sync.
