[kea-dev] pg specific data types for network addresses

[Matt Zagrabelny]

Greetings Kea-dev,

Looking at the git repo for kea, I see some traction for using Pg's inet
data type in the src/share/database/scripts/pgsql/dhcpdb_create.pgsql.
However, the lease4 table uses a bigint for the IP address and a bytea for
the MAC address.

Are there plans to migrate to Pg's native types of inet and macaddr for
these fields?

Have you considered this course and found technical reasons to not use
those data types?

Thanks for the info!
