[stork-users] reservations-out-of-pool

[Slawek Figiel]

Hello Ronald!

The "reservation-mode" parameter was supported in the 1.8.X branch of 
Kea DHCP. The behaviors have changed in the 1.9 branch: more flexible 
configuration options were introduced called "reservations-global", 
"reservations-in-subnet" and "reservations-out-of-pool" to replace the 
old "reservation-mode" parameter.

Stork supports both approaches and works properly no matter how you set 
the out-of-pool mode.

In Kea 2.6.x, you need to set the out-of-pool mode by the 
"reservations-out-of-pool" parameter.

I opened https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/stork/-/issues/1668 to 
improve the checker message.

Thank you for your feedback!
Regards,
Slawek Figiel
