Subject: [kea-dev] Adding MYSQL backend support

I hope this is the correct place to be asking this question. If it is not or
if there is another place I should be using as well please let me know.
I am planning on adding MYSQL as a supported config backend for Kea; it seems
to be a natural outcropping of my FOSDDI project.
I wonder if anyone is already working on this. I am still in the planning
stages and I would hate to do a fresh implementation if someone else is farther
along than myself.
If someone else is working on this I would be very willing to assist in anyway
I can. I would also be very interested in hearing from them directly.
It is possible, of course, to simply write a wrapper script and parse the
config info out of MYSQL into a JSON file and let Kea read that. But that feels
klunky and I can see where errors can creep in.
I think native built-in support for a ubiquitous service like MYSQL as a config
backend is a huge plus for Kea. Given the fact that Kea already can use a DB
store for its leases, extending that to the config file seems to be a logical
situation.
As always I welcome any ideas or feedback the community may have.
