[Kea-users] Migrate to Kea from non-ISC DHCP server ***EXTERNAL EMAIL***

[Wlodek Wencel]

Couple simple leases files I took out from our automated testing are 
attached. Please be aware that in user context Kea can store quite 
extensive info in json structure (also attached).

Hope that will help
