The DHCPv6 protocol, defined in [RFC3315] allows for multiple servers
to operate on a single network, however it does not define any way to
decide which server responds to which client queries. Some sites are
interested in running multiple servers in such a way as to provide
increased availability in case of server failure. In order for this
to work reliably, the cooperating primary and secondary servers must
maintain a consistent database of the lease information. [RFC3315]
allows for but does not define any redundancy or failover mechanisms.
This document outlines requirements for DHCPv6 failover, enumerates
related problems, and discusses the proposed scope of work to be
conducted. This document does not define a DHCPv6 failover protocol.
