I am in the same situation (i.e. must support overlapping/duplicate IP address 
ranges). We currently use a heavily-modified ISC DHCP daemon but would love to 
move to a solution that is


1)      backed by a database and

2)      not so heavily customized.

Cheers,

Rob

Subject: [Kea-users] Overlapping/duplicate subnets [faked-from]

Hi all,

My mind is busy with a DHCP scenario that I couldn't end up with a 
configuration to support that. I am asking here to make sure it is not an 
oversight.

Suppose that we have several subnets which are behind a NAT device which 
additionally acts as a DHCP relay agent. I know that using DHCP relay agent 
information option, I can distinguish between different subnets. However, the 
additional constraint is to use duplicate or overlapping subnets instead of 
different subnets. Since, the traffic comes from each segment goes through NAT, 
it wouldn't be any problem to use duplicate IP addresses, knowing that each 
segment has its own autonomy.

As far as I know, the lease database use IP address as primary key. So, it 
seems duplicate IP addresses are not allowed.

Is there any workaround except running several instances of Kea to serve such a 
topology?

Regards,
