Hi Bob,

thanks yes that makes sense.
That means my 50+ networks are NOT shared networks because thy are all 
in a different Vlan behind a relay host?
So i could live with simply subnet4 definitions without shared networks?

What worked until now in my test environment is one shared network with 
all my 50 reservation subnet in it and one dyn pool.
That one Shared network has the relay option set so that everything need 
to come from that relay host.
Similar to that example from Satish without the relay host. @Satish 
Thanks for you response

###
...
   "shared-networks": [

       {
         "name": "device-mgmt",
         "relay": {
                 "ip-addresses": [ "10.3.1.3" ]
          },
         "subnet4": [
           {
             "id": 2,
...

I now understand it that way that this configuration is wrong because 
these networks are on separate VLAN and have nothing todo with each other.
There is no network expand an existing one.

Where is my misunderstanding?
