=> essentially the DHCP protocol is about assigning leases to clients so
Kea is just doing its job. If the lease file is really useless I suggest
to set the persist flag of the lease-database configuration to false:
this will make the lease database only in memory. Reference 8.2.2.1
Memfile - Basic Storage for Leases in the ARM (or 9.2.2.1 if you use
DHCPv6, the ARM is the Kea Administrator Reference Manual at
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and the persist flag is the first
documented parameter).
