 As of now kea does not monitor the state of network interfaces. It does
 not utilize network interfaces started after b10-dhcp4 module
 initialization. This means it's not quite compliant with the following
 part of RFC 2131:

    "The 'server identifier' field is used both to identify a DHCP server
    in a DHCP message and as a destination address from clients to
    servers.  A server with multiple network addresses MUST be prepared
    to to accept any of its network addresses as identifying that server
    in a DHCP message."

 How to reproduce:
          config add Init/components b10-dhcp4
          config set Init/components/b10-dhcp4/kind dispensable
          config commit

 start new network interface
 send DHCP discover to this new interface

 Expected Result:
 server should respond to DHCPDISCOVER

 Actual Result:
 server will discard DHCPDISCOVER
