And to explain the status of host reservation in MySQL, this is something we're working on right now and will be released in 1.1.0. Lease storage works for several years and is considered very stable. The host reservation support is a different matter, though. When Kea 1.0 was about to be released we had a working prototype that covered some functionalities (reading info from the reservation tables, assigning reserved IPv4 address, preventing anyone else from getting that reserved IPv4 address), but with many others missing (IPv6 reservation not functional, per host options not functional, not very extensive documentation). We had two choices: either include the code in its current state in 1.0 or not include it at all.
We decided to go ahead and provide the functionality we had and focused on improving (or rather making it complete) in upcoming 1.1.0. The rationale for this decision was that people will figure it out and will be able to use it in some cases, even if the documentation is not extensive. So some people would benefit from it. On the other hand, if the decision was to not include it, nobody would be able to take any benefit from it. If you really dislike the shortcomings of the current host reservations in MySQL support, you can wait for the upcoming 1.1.0 release. You may also look at our current milestone http://kea.isc.org/milestone/Kea1.1. These are the tickets that are in scope for ISC engineers for the next couple months. There are several tickets related to MySQL. Some of them are already complete, which means that the code is on master branch in our git repo. If you're comfortable with running bleeding edge code from git repo, you may try it. However, please do understand that you're using code that is being worked on and is not complete yet. Hope that helps, Tomek _______________________________________________ Kea-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/kea-users
