I'm having a problem with the dhcpd lense rewriting subnets when I delete one. From what I can tell through experimenting, it seems that augeas is not so much deleting the previous subnet but instead it's taking the values of the next subnet and writing it into this one.

Here is the example content:

    # this comment is before the first subnet
    subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
    {
        option routers 192.168.1.1;
        pool { range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.254; }
    }
    # comment goes here
    subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
    {
        ddns-updates true;
        next-server 192.168.15.2;
        filename "pxelinux.0";
        ddns-domainname "staging.direcpath.net";
        option routers 192.168.2.1;
        pool
        {

            range 192.168.2.2 192.168.2.254;
        }

    }

If I run "rm /files/test.conf/subnet[1]"

I get this as the output:

    # this comment is before the first subnet
    # comment goes here
    subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
    {
ddns-updates true;
next-server 192.168.15.2;
filename "pxelinux.0";
ddns-domainname staging.direcpath.net;
        option routers 192.168.2.1;
        pool { range 192.168.2.2 192.168.2.254; }
    }

You can see the first subnet's definition seems to have been rewritten, with the 4 extra lines inserted where appropriate. This would be fine except it's removing the formatting information when it does it and thus removing the double quotes from ddns-domainname which causes validation errors.

I can fix it by rewriting the lens to require double quotes for ddns-domainname (which is how they seem to have fixed it for the filename statement) but I'm wondering if the lens' statement syntax is messed up in general. From what I understand, it's supposed to keep the quotes on existing data and put them back when things change right?
