Bob,

If the secondary server is active, then I wouldn't worry about changing 
any failover settings. To check this goto an SSH session and run:

/perfigo/common/bin/fostate.sh

If it says "My node is active" then don't worry about the failover 
settings. There is something else going wrong on the secondary server. 
Make sure the DHCP scopes are defined on that second CAS. If so, check 
the DHCP logs at:

/var/log/dhcplog

And see if there are errors.
