Everyone has good intentions here.  To clear up any confusion, Darren leads 
ISC’s Technical Support team, and Doug is on that team. I also work for ISC.  
Darren was posting from his gmail account in this thread but we’re all listed 
on ISC’s web site if anyone wants to check. (Darren is out today which is the 
only reason I am chiming in now.)

The OP is using our most recent development version, and therefore might have 
been the first to stumble on a significant bug, so Darren was particularly 
motivated to try to reproduce the problem and didn’t object to an email 
off-list.  Doug is also right, that a community mailing list is for open 
community support and building up the body of public knowledge about the 
software.  It won’t scale if others start emailing configurations to people’s 
private mailboxes and it is counter to the point of the open list. 

Ideally if a user has a problem that they have good reason to suspect is a bug, 
they should open a Gitlab issue.  I encourage everyone who has deployed Kea to 
make an account in our Gitlab instance 
(https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea) and contribute issues. 

There is also a lot of grey area, when it is unclear if there is a 
configuration error or an actual bug: that is where this list can be very 
useful. Hopefully, when the OP resolves their specific problem, the result will 
be posted here for everyone’s benefit.
