I think more consideration should go into the configuration command
names, since putting a "fallover-master" option on a secondary is
counter-intuitive.  After all, one doesn't put a "dhcp-authoritative"
option on non-authoritative servers to tell them where to find the
authoritative server.  Also, shouldn't the standby/failover behavior
be linked to authoritative?
