Both dhcpd and bind supports failover.
If you want to have failover storage you might want to look into beegfs, as storage targets can be mirrored across hosts.

Not heard of BeeGFS, had a quick look on the Arch wiki… looks quite involved…
But, ok, at least I know that the DHCP part can be dealt with - thanks.

I use beegfs at work for the redundancy and clustering aspect. 1.8PB of storage with 100% redundancy.
While it supports a lot and CAN be quite involved, a very basic setup is in fact pretty simple:
A filesystem on a machine is a storage target.
A machine with storage targets is a storage node. (beegfs-storage)
A management server (beegfs-mgmtd) connects these together into a filesystem.
Any machine runs beegfs-client to mount this filesystem.
One machine needs to run beegfs_meta for the Metadata. It doesn’t require a lot.
