If this is your case, you might want to complement each DHCP scope.
Considering the subnet of 192.168.1.254 / 24:

Server A – scope 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.128

and

Server B – scope 192.168.1.129 to 129.168.254.

This way, there is no overlapping scopes.
(Note that this is just an example, you need to adjust to your own needs, considering reserved IP addresses for servers, DNS, routers, etc.)

If your network does not need two DHCP servers and you want to simplify, just disable one of them.
