Not sure that you can on the same network. The DHCP server(s) would not know
who's boss and would both try to hand out addresses, and the client could
receive 2, etc.

You certainly can do this.
THe key is to understand how scopes work and exclusions.
THe key is to set them up exactly the same - except for Exclusion
ranges so that they each hand out from a different range of the scope.
So set up scope range where both are the same, ex:
192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254

Server 1 -
Exclude:
192.168.1.1-192.168.1.49 and 192.168.1.101-192.168.1.254

Server 2 -
Exclude:
192.168.1.1-192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.151-192.168.1.254

Reservations must be made the same on both servers.
OPtions also should be identical.

This is a bit simplified but that is the basic approach.

They will co-exist and provide service as you require.
THere is probably a instruction on how to do it.
