[Kea-users] HA Kea with config replication

[Elton, Norman N]

DB backend works great for us. We have two Kea servers with independent database servers. Our IPAM systems keep both databases up to date.

Hello,

Our org is interested in setting up Kea HA setup on hot-standby. Lease sync will not be a problem but I am concerned with how to manage host reservations without using the paid configuration backend hooks. We heavily utilize host reservations and would be consistently adding/removing old reservations from the configuration file which would in turn require making the same edits on both HA servers. Has anyone else done a similar setup or know a better way without making use of a DB backend?

Thank you,
