Hi Kraishak, This behaviour is expected when HA is configured in "load-balancing" mode.
Under normal operations, the two Kea servers divide the clients between them. The server decides which clients they need to respond to based on a hash of the client identifier; this is often the client's Mac address. The split is 50/50.

When I see the log I see as: HA_BUFFER4_RECEIVE_NOT_FOR_US [hwtype=1 82:ff:ff:00:00:01], cid=[01:82:ff:ff:00:00:01], tid=0x29652559: dropping query to be processed by another server I have a few doubts about this 1)I have only 10 active leases in the given scope range and we still have so many free leases then why does the server drop the query and hand it over to its peer? 2)Do we need to add any parameters in the config file to make the kea-DHCP primary to forcefully check its all free available IPs? Thanks in advance Kraishak Attached are my kea-dhcp configs of primary and failover -- ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
