Hi All,

I’m evaluating possible failure scenarios with Kea (currently testing with 
version 2.2.1). One specific scenario I’m going through is with two servers set 
up as load-balancing HA pair. Some setup details:

- Servers are hosted at different locations
- Clients are in a third location, using relays to interact with DHCP
- Using MT and dedicated listener
- Servers1 and Server2 are able to communicate and exchanged  heartbeats 
without interruptions
- Clients can obtain v4 and v6 addresses and classification is even

What I’m testing:

Network failure scenario where Server2 is no longer receiving DHCP traffic from 
relays. Server 1 continues to receive traffic from relays. Servers 1 and 2 
continue to receive heartbeats from peer.

In a scenario like this, I expected that server1 would detect a partner down 
due `secs` or  `elapsed-time` exceeding `max-ack-delay`, and 
`max-unacked-clients` also exceeding the max value set. But I’m not seeing that 
and clients that were previously classified and allotted to server2 do not 
receive any DHCP response after the simulated network failure.

Is it a wrong assumption? Am I missing something in the configuration?

Sample config attached.


Thanks,
– Diogo
