In a network with two or more DHCP servers, they will share their databases of leased IP address.

• A. True
• B. Sometimes
• C. False
• D. Always

Answer: (C)

DHCP servers don’t automatically share the list of IPs they have leased. Each server maintains its own lease database for the scopes it manages, recording which IPs are allocated and to which clients. To coordinate between multiple servers, you’d configure a failover or similar mechanism that lets servers exchange lease state, so they can avoid assigning the same IP to different clients. Without that coordination, two servers could end up leasing the same address if their scopes overlap or if one server isn’t aware of the other's leases. So, the statement that they will share their databases by default is not accurate.
