I'm evaluating kea 1.8 to eventually integrate into my network.  I've got 6 subnets that I'll be managing eventually.  Relay agents will be on all but one subnet. An initial install and test setup with mysql backend went okay but I have one show stopper problem now.

Whenever I start the service I see in the log:
DHCPSRV_OPEN_SOCKET_FAIL failed to open socket: failed to open socket on interface eth0, reason: failed to bind fallback socket to address <serverIP>, port 67, reason: Address already in use - is another DHCP server running? 2022-02-18 08:23:27.547 WARN [kea-dhcp4.dhcpsrv/3416.140158564502848] DHCPSRV_NO_SOCKETS_OPEN no interface configured to listen to DHCP traffic

I changed dhcp-socket-type to udp to see if that would change the behavior and got this: 2022-02-18 08:14:13.653 WARN [kea-dhcp4.dhcpsrv/3218.139637232491840] DHCPSRV_OPEN_SOCKET_FAIL failed to open socket: failed to open socket on interface eth0, reason: Failed to bind socket 15 to <serverIP>/port=67 2022-02-18 08:14:13.653 WARN [kea-dhcp4.dhcpsrv/3218.139637232491840] DHCPSRV_NO_SOCKETS_OPEN no interface configured to listen to DHCP traffic

This is running on a virtual machine, rocky linux 8.5.  Selinux and firewall have been disabled for testing.  Network seems fine on the system other than this.  My initial config is just a couple of reserved address based on mac address and no pool.  If I can get this working I plan to add reservations for all clients in each of the subnets.
