Re: [Kea-users] next-server-address in hooks for UEFI config servers

Thanks, Francis. If I want to get rid of hardcoding 'next-server' from
kea.conf and move it to the hooks library by setting the field dynamically,
what it the right way?

=> next-server is a BOOTP/DHCP field, not an option. Note some of these
fields have a corresponding option used for instance when the field
is too small (can't happen with an IPv4 address :-).

=> This option gives a list (vs one) of addresses of the Mobile IP
home agent. So it is something different (but if it makes the client
happy...).
