I like to know who is using the DHCP server from ISC when doing a FAI network installation. Debian plans to remove this package for the upcoming release (trixie) and I'm not sure how much work it may cause to sysadmin to migrate to a replacement, for e.g. the new DHCPD from ISC called kea.Did anyone already migrated to kea? Do you think you can easily migrate to kea or dnsmasq or other packages?
we are currently migrating to dnsmasq as after looking at kea and deciding it was way too complex for ust, especially lacking a simple interface to DB held configuration.
Also, given we have a large-ish number of hosts/interfaces to serve (3 per host quickly adds up), it was never really clear to me, whether we had to pay for the number of active leases we would need.
Thus, we started the very slow/sluggish migrating from feeding dnsmasq via netbox with a bunch of self-written scripts/services which sort of works for now.
