=> I confirm it does not exist.

=> you should but it is one of the uses of client classes (possible but
a but hairy to do with current Kea: it is one of the things I plan to make
cleaner and easier).

Re: [Kea-users] Lease same IP for same MAC

[Alberto Garrido]

Hi Roland, another approach you might want to explore is the Kea DHCP-DDNS
feature , so that
you can configure Packer to use a FQDN, like ubuntu-server.yourdomain.com,
instead of an IP address.
