Failover problem with Firewall Service Modul (FWSM) Catalyst 6500

I have set up two FWSM in Active/Standby Failover with Stateful Failover and State Link in multiple context mode. When I enable failover, the active unit sends the configuration in running memory to the standby FWSM. Now my problem: all dhcp-server commands beginning with dhcpd address ... and dhcpd enable ... are not copied. If I force the standby unit to become active then DHCP-Server and DHCP-Relay are not working!!! Anyway, DHCP-Relay commands have been copied. Even when I enter the dhcp commands again, the DHCP-Server and DHCP-Relay still do not work.



Has anybody an idea how to solve the problem?



The switches run IOS 12.2.33-SXI3 and the FWSM version 4.0(11).



Many thanks Andreas
