Since DHCP uses broadcast and multicast addresses when a client is 
discovering a server, it's not obvious why you'd have to.

You can run redundant sets of isc-dhcpd servers together serving the 
same broadcast domain and have them assign leases from the same address 
pools (at least, I've never tried it, but I was within internal mailing 
list range of the person maintaining that code and heard him shouting 
fairly often about it, not always in tones of rage and frustration).

Was that what you were after?
