[Kea-users] kea-dhcp-ddns question

[Alexey Kasatikov]

Hello, I'm trying to start using kea-dhcp in my little network and have a little question, actually two, to be honest. I will appreciate for any answers.

1. Seems like I can't use kea-dhcp-ddns to update my DNS entries in Route 53 (since Route 53 doesn't support any ddns). Is it possible to use external scripts with kea-dhcp-ddns as in-between solution?

2. How can I see any statistic about using ip addresses? At this moment I use mysql as a backend for leases and it's not very informative - ip address is stored as integer and  mac-address as binary. Seems like there will be a big update with new version of kea that will allow us to use additional API functions to collect such information. But maybe there is some trick I can use right now?

Thanks in advice :-)

=> in both cases I am afraid you need a hook. BTW there was a hook calling
scripts announced in this list some days ago so perhaps you do not have
to write a line of C++ (*) code.

PS *: please note there is no requirement to write hooks in C++.
