I know DHCP supposed to provide ip to machines, but need to know how they handle when things dont go well.
ie
1) do DHCP communicate with each other ? assuming many DHCP in the network with the same setting, will they fight or work together ?
2) multiple DHCP in a network, what will happen when a new machine come in ? get ip from a random DHCP ? any idea which 1 get priority?
3) if a machine already used a fixed ip, but that fixed ip is in dynamic ip address range, will that IP get offered ?
1. Yes if they are part of cluster. No if they are independent from each other ie

2. Client will use the first DHCP OFFER information that it get.
3. Depends. Some DHCP server have the option to check (usually using ping) if that IP is being use in the network before it offer that ip.
