Hello Olivier: Whether or not it is a problem depends largely on which lease backend you are using. If you are using the default, Memfile, you would need to stop the Kea first. Two reasons: first Kea would be unaware of leases added to the end of the lease file so there would be nothing to prevent it from handing out these leases. Memfile uses the lease file as a journal but it tracks leases in memory. The files are only ever loaded upon startup and reconfigure. Second: you might attempt a write to the file at the same time as Kea and this might corrupt entries in the file. If you are using MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Cassandra you should be able to insert leases while Kea as it uses the DB to track leases. You would run at least some risk of colliding with a lease that Kea is attempting to hand out at the same time you insert it. Thomas Markwalder ISC Software Engineering
