I concur with Munroe. I maintain https://github.com/jsumners/ucarp-rhel7 for my 
HAProxy failover setup. My guess is that your opposition could stem from 
multiple OSes not supporting this sort of socket binding. Some quick searching 
shows me that at least FreeBSD supports it via the “IP_BINDANY” options 
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/ident?i=IP_BINDANY. On Linux it is is “IP_FREEBIND”. 
These are defined in netinet/in.h and netinet/ip.h, respectively.

I think this would be a good feature to support since, as far as I can tell, 
routers don’t typically allow defining a backup “ip helper.”

Kea is like 99.99% of network servers I know: it binds only to local addresses
as required by the standard socket API.

PS: I am sure you'll get the same problem with bind9 for instance.
