Hi,

Regarding the shared-network thread that involve Tomek Mrugalski...

https://lists.isc.org/mailman/htdig/kea-users/2016-December/000709.html

I would like to add a "me too".  Laking that feature is also a show stopper for 
us.  We also have large networks with multiple subnets that couldn't managed by 
simply enlarging mask.

That beeing said, I fully understand that implementing some kind of "grouping" 
is complicated and not in the actual roadmap.

That's why I would like to suggest something...

In the Mikrotik's RouterOS, there is a "next pool" directive that make possible 
to "chained" subnet to subnet and so on...

Why not using the same kind of concept?  If a subnet is exhausted, it will look 
at the new "next-subnet" option, look at it, pick and IP (if available), if 
not, look for an other next "next-subnet" option and so on...  That way, you 
don't have to implement some form of grouping.

Obviously each subnet in a chain have their gateway's IP configured on the 
router physical interface (as we already do).  The IP of the first subnet in 
the chain must be configure as the "primary" IP on the router interface since 
DHCP we request will come from that IP...  Not a big deal.

regards,


Dominic Germain
