protocol because it doesn't work ..."

"... and none of the implementations of the draft standard failover protocol
interoperate."

"Our engineering, QA and tech support people refuse to support using the
failover protocol between our DHCP server and the ISC DHCP server because
the draft standard failover protocol and the ISC DHCP server implementation
are broken."

"We fixed the problems with the draft standard DHCP failover protocol that
is implemented in the ISC DHCP server."
