Simple example how to use this module:

class { 'dhcp':
  domain_name         => 'example.org',
  domain_name_servers => [ 'ns1.example.org', 'ns2.example.org' ],
  subnet              => {
    '10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0' => {
      'range'                    => '10.10.10.5 10.10.10.10',
      'option routers'           => '10.10.10.1',
      'option broadcast-address' => '10.10.10.255'
    }
  },
}

Example how to use this module with failover option:

node 'node1.example.org' {
  class { 'dhcp':
    domain_name_servers => [ '192.168.50.249', '192.168.50.250' ],
    failover            => [
      {
        'peer'         => 'primary',
        'peer address' => '192.168.50.243'
      }
    ],
    subnet              => {
      '192.168.50.0 netmask 255.255.255.0' => {
        'range'                    => '192.168.50.100 192.168.50.199',
        'option routers'           => '192.168.50.1',
        'option broadcast-address' => '192.168.50.255'
      }
    },
  }
}
node 'node2.example.org' {
  class { 'dhcp':
    domain_name_servers => [ '192.168.50.249', '192.168.50.250' ],
    failover            => [
      {
