<p class="MsoNormal">I understand the scaling factor and just throwing it out there – it would help to have perhaps non-key ID to search for, say “name” or something in the line of, making it a more unique value to search for.

<p class="MsoNormal">Definitely string ID is nicer to manage. The thing is, Kea seems to be designed to support a large number of subnets and DB backend. In this case it is better to use an integer because I don't think you want a string based primary key
on a DB table with millions of entries.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can confirm – the lack of support for string ID is pretty annoying right now, and forces me to create ranges for specific applications, which will not scale well in production.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the second one, I observed that it goes numerically from the bottom of the pool range up, so ::2, ::3, etc. In ISC, it seems to have been random selection from the pool, with attempt made to populate all stanzas. Kea seems to prefer
numerically incrementing assignment, which is pretty bad for security purposes (if a user knows it, they can pretty much guess previous assignments). I preferred personally the old ISC way of doing things.

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have two questions related to the kea design. First, seems currently we can only assign numeric IDs to subnets, but for subnet management, it’s more convenient to use a string, is it possible to add this feature? Second, how kea design
to distribute the ip addresses inside of the subnet esp ipv6 subnet? Is it totally random? Thank you.
