No. The DHCP address the client is assigned will depend upon which DHCP
server responds first - and that will depend entirely upon the performance
of the servers, the network, the client, etc. In theory, splitting the
scope means that "approximately" half of the allocated addresses will come
from one server and the remainder from the other. However, there is nothing
in the programming that dictates that. It's not "load-balancing" in any
real sense of the word any more than round-robin DNS is. Having said that,
it works just fine. I ran a network with many tens of thousands of DHCP
clients on split scopes and had no issues.
However, if you would like your DHCP services to always be available *and*
rid yourself of the administrative pain of managing split scopes, try
clustering instead.
