Hi,
as far as I understand, either you find a way to handle the JSON kea-dhcp4.conf
configuration file (which is open source) or you buy the premium hook library
exposing the MySQL/PostgreSQL Configuration Backend hooks.
Actually, Kea should be able to READ from a given DB, since those hook
libraries are open source as well. What is however not possible without the
premium package is to WRITE the configurations to the DB. Keep in mind that the
DB tables have complex dependencies from each other, so it's not really viable
to write directly to the DB.
Hope this can help.
Best,
Nicolò.
