[Kea-users] problems enabling HA Hot-Standby setup (OPEN)

Good point.  I think the default for the kea-ctrl-agent is to use port
8000.  In that case you should change the kea control agent to use a
different port such as 8001 since you can't have both trying to use the
same port.  If you have not already, look at /etc/kea/kea-ctrl-agent.conf
