          Thanks!!! Sorry for so many questions!!! :)

          After setting the IP Peer failover in pfmaster's dhcp, in the dhcp lease option, the pool state needs to be normal, right?

          Both pfmaster and pfbackup status is recover.

          What causes this?

            Maybe missing the Failover peer IP in the DHCP settings?
            This must be stated on the primary only.

                We have DNS Forwarder enabled. Do I need to select the VIPs in the DNS Forwarder?

                  Not clear, what you mean. There are no IP to select in the Forwarder settings.

                  But if you are talking about the DHCP settings, then yes, it doesn't matter if you're running the Resolver or Forwarder or any other DNS server, you have to enter it's IP here. For these ones running on pfSense, this is the interface VIP.

                    I meant that.

                    eeabdb9a-21ff-4b1d-905e-e9fe52915b0e-image.png

                    But there is still something I am not getting, because I have enabled pfbackup on our network and the WAN is as MASTER in pfbackup and the dhcp leases are not as "normal".

                    Any hints on what to look for?

                      These are the IPs, the Resolver is listening on. Yes, you should select the respective VIPs there or even keep "all".

                      because I have enabled pfbackup on our network and the WAN is as MASTER in pfbackup and the dhcp leases are not as "normal".

                      Don't know, what you mean with the term "the dhcp leases are not as normal".
                      However, I just rarely use the DHCP server on an HA system, so I'm sadly not experienced with it.
                      If you have trouble with that you should better open a separate thread to get viable help, I think.

                        Status > DHCP Leases

                        Pool Status
                        7c9ddad5-07aa-4d91-ac82-fbaf5ca332b7-image.png

                        It is now as "recover state". Regardless if I put pfbackup on the network, with Failover peer IP configured, it is still in "recover state".
