Reservation in Major/Minor DHCP scopes

[talltim]

Is there any way of getting PCs to prefer a particular DHCP server when
using a major and minor scopes on different servers on a VLAN?
The split scopes work well but aprt from the fact that reserved
addresses don't work consistently as the reservations they are only
present on one of the servers.

That's a networking question.

DHCP server preference...

Right click My Network Places, then high-light the LAN interface, right
click, properties. (I just fell back to Win2000 from WinXP, my memory
could be wrong).
