[Kea-users] Use of include statement doesn't seem to work (INTERNAL)

[Weisteen Per]

Hi

I'm running KEA 4.0.3 on RHEL 8 and I've added 2 include statements in kea-dhcp4.conf file, one for HA config and one for subnets.
This makes it easier to maintain a shared config file for the 2 KEA servers I'm running. The only difference is in the HA config.
The subnet config file is created running a Python script using a csv file as input.  

Running kea-dhcp4 -t /etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf returns no errors but trying to start kea-dhcp4 fails using systemctl. 
If I actually include the two config files into one large config file then kea-dhcp4 starts with no errors.  

Is there a known bug here?

Relevant part of kea-dhcp4.conf. Having a comma after the <?include "subnets.conf"?> is necessary  because Python won't create it when using the JSON package.
