I have some thing similar I have a pair of DHCP serevrs running in a cluster on ubuntu 20.04, All worked perfectly until recently, when they started stopping with code=killed, status=6/ABRT. This is being fixed by https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870729 However now one stops after a few hours with the following errors. One can stay on line but not both.
