Currently we have a dhcp server running in SLACKWARE and we want to move it to SUSE 10.1. We assign static ip addresses to hosts based on their ethernet address. The SLACKWARE dhcp server is working fine. However when we used the same dhcpd.conf and dhcpd.master files in SUSE we get the following log message.

If anyone has configured a dhcp failover server in SUSE 10.1. Can you throw some light on this issue.
