<p>Hi</p>
<p>I am considering when a move to Kea would be appropriate for my
small network.</p>
<p>The latest version seems to have most of the features I use in
dhcpd today.</p>
<p>I use subclass for keeping a list of devices that are allowed to
be given an address and depending on the class they match, they
will be given a gateway or not (I want some devices to NOT be able
to communicate to the Internet). Devices that do not belong to any
class are given an address in a different subnet with no routing
to the general network.<br>
</p>
<p>I don't find an equivalent to this in Kea, so how would be the
best way to translate my subclass statements to "something" in
Kea?</p>
<p>Today I use a separate file for defining all the subclass members
and include that in the main configuration file, so I only edit
that file when a new device is added. Can a file be included into
the main configuration in Kea?<br>
</p>
<p>I know these security measures are not really secure but they
seem to be sufficient at the moment, so I don't look for anything
ironclad, just enough to keep the classes separate for my
convenience.</p>
<p>At some day in the future I expect to use a MySql database as the
main storage, but not right now. The future also brings ipV6
configuration.<br>
</p>
<p>Any comments on the best approach are much welcome. <br>
</p>
