In the spirit of continuing to give back to the community, I'm happy to share my kea configuration tool. kea_config is available in the AUR [1] with source on github [2] kea is the current ISC dhcp server software taht offers a nice feature set, including a hot standby to pick up should the primary be unavailable. Its power also lurks behind a somewhat complicated configuration suite that, at least for me, isn't the most human friendly and creates a burden to keep things appropriately consistent. kea_config provides a nice and clean way to generate the required config files from a simple, single config. It generates the set of configs for each of primary, backup and standby servers which are then copied to each server; each can then use a link to primary or standby or backup config as appropriate. If you only run primary, that's fine too :) For host reservations it uses hostnames and looks up the IP - thus further helping reduce risk of human error. Hope others find it helpful. regards, gene [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kea_config [2] https://github.com/gene-git/kea_config
