<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">dhcp-host=server_name.domain.local,10.1.0.50<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Q1: Can Kea match a hostname to a IP address in a reservation? Doesn’t seem like it can.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The DHCP clients are Linux based. As they are OpenShift VMs, the MAC addresses are randomly assigned so I can’t use MAC addresses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
