Hi
Know of any DHCP Relays that support RFC5107?
Does Kea have any plans to release a DHCP Relay? - since the ISC one is end of life (I think).
Since Kea 2.1.3 it supports RFC5107:
Server Identifier Override. Kea now supports Relay Agent option for Server Identifier Override (sub-option 11), which is defined in RFC5107. With this capability, the relay agent can send its own IP address while forwarding client's packets to the server. The server will then insert it as the server identifier when sending back a response. This will ensure that all the traffic always goes through the relay, which is beneficial in some cases.
Basically we need dhcp clients to keep communicating via our relays and not directly to the server so we can add /32 routes to the correct VLANs.
