Thanks, Marcin.


I've applied the patch and recompiled.  So far the patch does appear to have resolved this issue!


I'll watch this through the weekend and report back if I find any issues.


Thanks, again!

Hello Duane,

Thank you for beta testing Kea. Feedback from "external" world is
valuable and allows for catching issues early. This is especially
important in case of "shared networks" which is a pretty complex feature.

Getting to the point, though. I haven't done any actual testing and
didn't try to replicate your problem yet, but since I wrote this code I
can make informed guesses. I am providing a small patch for Kea which
may/should correct this problem. If you can give it a shot, it will be
great. If not, I will try to write a test tomorrow and see if it works
for me. However, there are sometimes details of the environment that
matter. Anyhow, let me know if you can test it and if you need any
assistance in applying the patch.

The patch is available here:

https://pastebin.com/L4UCM3he

I also paste it below for convenience but may have odd line wraps.

Thanks,
Marcin Siodelski
