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).

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?
