[Kea-users] Need help in MySQL queries - KEA

[Nandan Adhikari]

Hi Igor, I am trying to have similar kind of functionality which OMAPI
gives for ISC DHCP.

Its because we have existing setup in ISC DHCP, where we manage the DHCP
using OMAPI which gives the APIs like 'host_add' or 'host_delete'. I was
trying to have something similar to it. The IP/subnet pool is being managed
by another system here, and therefore what is needed is to somehow insert a
lease when a VM/instance comes up and delete that lease when VM is
destroyed.

Thanks Klaus for the reply. I was actually trying to manage leases, which I
think better would be to use host reservation. I will give it a try.
