Thanks for the reply.

I can unterstand that the feature lacked priority, back then. That said, the 
problems below seem pretty much trivially solvable for me, if not solved 
already. They are not Kea-related anyway. In fact, the ISC DHCPD does support 
hostnames 
(https://kb.isc.org/v1/docs/isc-dhcp-44-manual-pages-dhcpdconf#configuring-failover),
 maybe it can serve as a starting point.

I would rather open an issue so we can track the upvoting status.

Best,
   Damyan

Kea does not support hostnames (vs IP addresses) in configurations.

Please note it is a design choice: even it seems convenient this feature
is not as it raises some problems:
- when to resolve hostnames? At configure time or each time it is needed?
- what to do when resolution fails or more funny when the resolution
 returns more than one address

I do not know if there is already a KB article about this (if not we
should write one as you are far to be the first to ask) or if Stork
provides this feature (it is interactive so these problems can be handled).
