[Kea-users] KEA HA failover - dhcpv6 particularly

[Aaron Gould]

Hi KEA Users, my 2 server engineer coworkers and I (i'm the network guy) 
are trying to setup KEA HA Failover for the first time, in our lab.  We 
have lab endpoints and perfdhcp to test with.  We are generating 
hundreds of dhcpv6 ia_na and ia_pd requests, and the juniper dhcpv6 
relay router is logging the binding states just fine.  We try to 
failover the primary kea server, and see if the backup kea server will 
start replying to dhcpv6 requests, but the backup never seems to respond.

I read some of a previous post from April 2016, but need a bit more 
guidance, lessons learned, and perhaps up-to-date 2025 info.

I would appreciate any guidance any of you all could provide.
