Hi Daniel,
  The "domain-name-servers" option expects a list of IP addresses. Kea does not
 resolve domain names as dhcpd did.
 See: https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.0/arm/dhcp4-srv.html#standard-dhcpv4-options


 If you need to see the text, you could manually change the format to hexstring, i.e.:
  "data": "'fr-06:/vol/system/share/conf'"

 I've added Gitlab feature request #51, "Text to hexstring" for you.
 see: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/keama/-/issues/51

 Kind Regards Peter

Hi,
first, as a very old user of isc dhcp, my compliments on KEA!

our dhcpd.conf is about 32K lines, and after some minor tweaks managed to run keama without errors (it seems ISC-DHCP is a bit less strict than keama (strange since they share code))
these are some of the oddities:

this one seems harmless but …
original isc-dhcp:

subnet 132.65.192.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
option domain-name "cs.huji.ac.il <http://cs.huji.ac.il>";
option domain-name-servers nsa,sa1,shuldig;
option routers 132.65.192.1;
}

becomes:
     {
       "id": 1,
       "subnet": "132.65.233.0/24",
       "option-data": [
         {
           "space": "dhcp4",
           "name": "domain-name",
           "code": 15,
           "data": "cs.huji.ac.il <http://cs.huji.ac.il>"
         },
         {
           "space": "dhcp4",
           "name": "domain-name-servers",
           "code": 6,
//          "original-data": "nsa,sa1,shuldig”,  <- ?????
           "data": "nsa, sa1, shuldig”          <- ??????
         },
         {
           "space": "dhcp4",
           "name": "routers",
           "code": 3,
           "data": "132.65.224.1"
         }
       ]
     },

this one is a bit strange:
original isc-dhcp:

option FBSD.conf-path code 5 = text;

becomes:
   "option-def": [
...
     {
       "space": "FBSD",
       "name": "conf-path",
       "code": 5,
       "type": "string"
     },

so far so good, but then

…

         {
           "space": "FBSD",
           "name": "conf-path",
           "code": 5,
           "csv-format": false,
//          "original-data": "fr-06:/vol/system/share/conf",
           "data": "66722d30363a2f766f6c2f73797374656d2f73686172652f636f6e66"
         },

the string becomes hex?

have some more odd issues, but for later.

thanks

danny
