Hi Gregor, if you execute (for example):
kea-dhcp4 -T /etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf kea-dhcp4 will come pretty close to actually starting the server. It should catch most problems. Do note that capital T in -T as the lower -t does not perform as many checks. This, of course, doesn't mean that it will find configuration errors that would not prevent Kea from starting.
