[Kea-users] vendor specific dhcp4 options from database

[Richard Kojedzinszky]

Dear Darren,

Thanks for your reply. I could not find any clues in documentation that 
my setup should not work. In 
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.2.0/arm/config.html#cb-limitations 
there is paragraph beginning with this statement:

Although it is not recommended, it is possible to specify certain 
parameter types both in a configuration file and the database.

I expected that I can specify option definitions in configuration file, 
which is static, and I just wanted to place dynamic data in database, 
e.g. option-data parameters.

Thanks,
Richard
