is clustering really clustering?

Is technitium clustering really a cluster or is it just 2 servers that share configs? I have always thought of a cluster as 2 servers that are just pieces treated like a single server environment. Am i mistaken in that the technitium "cluster" is just 2 separate servers that synchronize configurations? I am not saying that aint GREAT but is it really a "cluster"?

How do I create a manually entered DHCP reserved address?

I would like to reserve an address manually so it will get the address on first connect. However, I can not find a way to do this. The reserved lease page does not all you to add a lease.

I commonly use Firefox and my common sites are Facebook and News sites. I have noticed Firefox locking up periodically for several seconds. I did not see that with Pi-hole. It appeared that if was on sites with a lot of ads. I looked up what pi-hole does when a site is blocked and it returns 0.0.0.0 whereas the normal setting for Technitium is "NX Domain" blocking. I tried the setting for "ANY address" which I believe replicates what Pi-hole does and the lockups seem to be gone. Anyone else noticed this?

Looking at the log file I was seeing a bunch of repeated

[2026-04-27 00:00:41 Local] [0.0.0.0:68] DHCP Server offered IP address [192.168.18.42] to Joey4K-stbmoca0 [04-C9-D9-1A-82-AC] for scope: Default
[2026-04-27 00:00:48 Local] [0.0.0.0:68] DHCP Server offered IP address [192.168.18.120] to ZiP-stbeth1 [88-B6-EE-52-61-F4] for scope: Default

over and over and over seconds apart. At fist I thought it was a bug but did some packet captures and was seeing DHCP request's from these 2 devices over an over even after I put static address on them... The 2 devices were Dish Network remote devices called Joey's in my bedrooms. After some research this is a common thing with these devices. So if you see some strange DHCP stuff going on look and see if you have Dish Network devices.
