Sorry, I misunderstood your original post; I thought you said that you setup multiple Kea servers and wanted clients to get addresses from each of them, rather than having a single server with multiple subnets on the same interface. I apologize for that.

In any case, the result you desire will require support from both Kea and the client; Kea will need offer multiple address options, and the client will need to accept more than one of them.

Also, I am not a Kea developer: this is the 'kea-users' list, and its membership is a wide variety of people. If you need an absolutely unambiguous answer from the Kea developers, then you will likely need to contact ISC about getting a support contract for Kea. All of the public Kea communication channels (the mailing lists and the issue tracker) are open to everyone, not just the Kea developers, for discussion and comment.
