   * If DHCP server gets a ping response, Infoblox Portal marks the IP as ABANDONED.
+===== Split Scope =====
+  * General use case for Split Scope is IPv6 and also Microsoft Migration.
+  * Infoblox manages DHCP on other vendors like Versa networks and which only support split scopes (or vendors like Microsoft which support split scope and can be managed by Universal DDI) - so Universal DDI must support Split Scopes.
+  * With IPv6 you can divide a /64 into two /65 subnets
+  * Split Scope has no lease sharing or heatbeat so it is simpler.
+  * DDNS Expirations can be an issue for Fixed Address objects in Split Ranges.
+  * Both servers in split scope will get any fixed address object in that range.
+  * You cannot adjust the split. It is always 50/50. Possibly off by 1. If Exclusion ranges block a large section of one half of the range, that server will only serve the bits it can. The system doesn't consider exclusion ranges when dividing the range into 50/50. Basically, don't put lots of exclusion ranges in.
+  * Don't convert split range to Active/Passive. (Until such a time as UDDI can copy leases to server)
+  * Resizing pool (e.g. 100-120) can also cause confusion because PartA doing 1-50 and PartB doing 51-100 is now PartA doing 1-60 and PartB doing 61 - 120
+  * When you REPLACE a box, the new one will get the old leases from portal.
+  * If client got lease from ServerA and then ServerA fails, when client comes back for IP. If client has "Authoritative turned on" ServerB would reply with NACK. Without "Authoritative" turned on; wait for lease expiration or T2. You gain simplicity but sacrifice T1 renewal by peer. Authoritative basically says the server knows all the leases that should be on the subnet. With Split Ranges... we don't; by definition we only know half.
