DHCP failover and Virtual Machine snapshot

$

Hi, everybody.

Does Windows 2012 R2 DHCP failover support virtual machine snapshot?

Say DHCP failover is configured on two Windows 2012 R2 servers for a series of scopes.

A member of the DHCP pair is going to have some updates applied or maybe some application installed.  As they're both virtual machines, I can shut one down, take a snapshot and then proceed with updates or application installation.

If something goes wrong with the installation and I go back to the VM snapshot, will it gracefully sync with the remaining DHCP failover server which remaind online during the operation?

Is this a supported scenario?

Perhaps pausing the DHCP server service prior to installing the updates/app would be recommended?

Thanks for your comments.
