No worries. Kea parsers are rather strict and unforgiving. There's some
initial pains to endure, but once you're past them, your config file
will be cleaner.

Couple suggestions: Use indents in your config. Use on-line validators
to check syntax. Run kea with logging set to stdout, so you immediately
see the errors. If you're completely lost, start with one of the config
examples that comes with Kea. There's around 40 of them. Look in
doc/examples directory. Start from the example and tweak it bit by bit
until you get to where you want to be.

Also, if you're interested, ISC offers professional support that
includes config reviews. See https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/.
