+              <entry>Minimizing a risk of DHCP service unavailability is achieved
+              by setting up multiple instances of the DHCP servers in a network.
+              Each server can serve selected group of clients in this network
+              (load balancing) or all clients, if it detects that its partner has
+              crashed or cannot be providing DHCP service for any other reason.
+              It is also possible to designate one server to serve all DHCP clients,
+              and leave another server as "standby". This server will activate its
+              DHCP function when it detects that its partner is not available.
+              Such cooperation between the DHCP servers requires that these
+              servers constantly communicate with each other to send updates about
+              allocated leases and to periodically test whether their partners are still
+              operational. The "libdhcp_ha" library provides such functionality for
+              Kea DHCP.
