In short, what you described in your first message. You're looking for DHCP relay functionality back to the server(s). You can set up several relays, allowing all three DHCP servers to respond but letting the client connect to just one. Alternatively, you can implement IP failover on the servers themselves, ensuring they all respond to a single IP address or using active/passive configurations. Yes, this is possible. It's also feasible for them to all communicate over the same subnet. On the server side, part of the DHCP process involves sending an ARP request before granting a lease. This approach can be inconsistent across vendors when using relays.

Set up a large DHCP server with redundancy and make sure your switches forward the traffic. Next, adjust the router failover settings so that three routers are active, or implement load balancing along with failover.
