I've found this in the logs:

: HOSTS_CFG_GET_ALL_IDENTIFIER get all hosts with reservations using 
identifier: hwaddr=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
: HOSTS_CFG_GET_ALL_IDENTIFIER_COUNT using identifier 
hwaddr=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, found 0 host(s)

Why would this happen? Yes, I double checked the MAC address. I enabled 
MySQL logging, and I can't match up timestamps exactly, but I do find a 
query:

SELECT host_id, dhcp_identifier, dhcp_identifier_type, dhcp4_subnet_id, 
dhcp6_subnet_id, ipv4_address, hostname, dhcp4_client_classes, 
dhcp6_client_classes FROM hosts WHERE dhcp4_subnet_id = ? AND 
dhcp_identifier_type = ?    AND dhcp_identifier = ?

I don't know if it's possible to see the executed version of this 
prepared query(?). Is it possible that the value Kea is placing in the 
query is not the correct binary string?
