No, it's not going to give out duplicate IPs.  The dual servers are
configured as primary/secondary and know about each other with some
protocol to track what leases are already out.

My question is just about multiple IPs as aliases on the server side.
 So far it looks like it is always sending with the same source IP
even though it logs that it used the alias interface name.   I'm just
wondering if it would confuse clients if it gets an IP from one source
and subsequent ACKs from another.   But, I guess that has been
happening for a long time already with the dual server setup.
