Hi Ian, 1. Your understanding is correct except for two points: A NCR will occur if something changes (such as hostname) during a subsequent renewal. You can force kea to send a NCR on renewal with the "ddns-update-on-renew" parameter. There is no way to send ddns updates upon creation of a reservation. If you want to request such a feature, you can do so here: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/issues
2. You may purchase professional support services if you wish. See here: https://www.isc.org/support/ There isn't any other support channel besides the mailing list or professional support services that is managed by ISC.
