I've got two piholes running on the home network, and they are both DHCP servers - with different ranges, i.e. #1 serves 192.168.0.11 - 100, and #2 serves 101-200. Each uses option 6 to specify DNS servers, and they both reference each other. It doesn't matter if one goes down because each client will have the both piholes specified as DNS servers. I've never had an address conflict problem.

    I suppose as long as your subnet mask is set properly, this would work? Each one could only support half as many devices, but that’s not likely to be an issue on a small home network with less than a hundred devices.

    You’d only have half of your devices listed under either pihole’s DHCP client list. But at least you would have (kind of) redundant DHCP service.
