Are subnets A,B,C and D located on the same physical link? If that is
so, that's a shared subnet scenario that is not really supported yet.

If they aren't and the server receives that traffic through relays, then
you can configure 4 subnets in your config and use the relay addresses
to select appropriate subnet for B,C and D.

I doesn't work that way. Reservations are subnet specific. This is a
design choice made to support cases of mobile or nomadic devices. Kea
does subnet selection first and then tries to select reservation or a an
address from dynamic pool specific to that subnet. This is discussed in
section 7.5:
