[Kea-users] Kea DHCP reservation question

[david.pearce at L3Harris.com]

I am working on a project that up until now has been using dnsmasq. It can map a hostname to an IP address with this kind of entry:
dhcp-host=server_name.domain.local,10.1.0.50

dnsmasq cannot do HS or redundancy easily, so I was asked to check Kea. I'm using version 2.6.3 from the RHEL 9.6 repository. (Using anything else than what is in the official repo causes heartburn with management.) I have Kea HA working and it works fine.

Q1: Can Kea match a hostname to a IP address in a reservation? Doesn't seem like it can.

The DHCP clients are Linux based. As they are OpenShift VMs, the MAC addresses are randomly assigned so I can't use MAC addresses.

Thanks.
