Thanks for this tip.

I have a need to create host resvervations based on MAC
address, but I don't want to give a fixed IP or hostname.
I just want to tag them with something so I can figure out
which pool they should get IPs from. How would I do this
best?

I'm using kea 1.4.

Some MACs get a static IP:

{ "hw-address": "64:d1:54:2c:54:61", "ip-address": "102.135.nnn.64" },

Some MACs should get an IP from a special dynamic pool...

{ "hw-address": "fe:ec:da:27:ae:92", "client-classes": [ "dynamic-public" ] },

Is the Kea currently ignoring this reservation?

I want to use the class to make it get an IP from a pool...

  { "pool":
				 "102.135.nnn.1-102.135.nnn.126",
                 "client-class": "dynamic-public"
  }
