I actually wrote the failover notes sometime ago, they just never made
it to the wiki. If I remember correctly, the information came from 'man
dhcpd.conf' and at that time the recommended ports were '519' & '520'

a firewall, but I wouldn't have thought so.

Your post made me check the manpage again and, as usual, things have
changed, so I will do some testing based on the changes and then
update the wiki page.
