Hi: Sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you, we already have a ticket open for this: http://kea.isc.org/ticket/5053 and it is scheduled to be included in our upcoming 1.2 release, which we are targetting for April/2017. Thanks for reporting it, though. It always helps to have an idea of how many people an issue may be affecting. Sincerely, Thomas Markwalder ISC Software Engineering
