[Kea-users] Back-end database recommendations?

[Jan Schermer]

I used MySQL (percona) in a Galera cluster running on each DHCP server to achieve HA.
Worked like a charm.
But use whatever you are familiar with if that works for your scenario
(I've never done a PostgreSQL cluster and it is rumored to be PITA :)).
