The blocking system.

Explanation:

In order to avoid servers to replicate with each other, I should configure the blocking system of the first DHCP.

For example, if the first DHCP fails to respond, the second will get in place, however, I have to configure the first system that immediately that the second DHCP starts working, the first blocks its information and use.

By this way, there won't be any duplicated actions or reponses.
