[Kea-users] Shared subnets configuration - input needed

[Chaigneau, Nicolas]

Oh... didn't realize this was already in. :)

I assume the file is looked for in the same directory as the including file ?

Can you also specify absolute file paths ? (<?include "/var/data/file.json"?>)
And relative paths ? (<?include "./subnets/foo.json"?>)

=> we already have a lexical (*) include as an extension to JSON,
e.g.: <?include "/foo/bar" ?>
(PS: lexical as it is handled by flex generated code, for instance you can include unbalanced JSON parts when CPP is syntactic).

PS: this feature was added for exactly this use case. It supports recursive includes and raises a fatal error when the include stack depth is greater than 10 (i.e. when it loops).
