DHCPv6 / omshell / OMAPI ?

I appreciate the answer Thomas! I'll proceed without using OMAPI. 

I plan to move to Kea in the future. There are currently two showstoppers for me: 

1) no equivalent to shared-network {} such that serving several different relayed networks is not possible. 
2) no equivalent to allow / deny statements. 

But I can see where it is going to be a good (possibly great) thing in the future!
