I've been using ISC DHCP server for a long long time. I just noticed this article. It focuses on Kea DHCP server as a replacement. <https://www.cnx-software.com/2023/04/27/use-kea-dhcp-server-as-isc-dhcp-server-dhcpd-is-being-phased-out/>

Kea definitely has much better high availability support. The method in the old DHCP server was terribly unreliable. Also the config is much more flexible in Kea and can be changed at runtime without restarting. Being able to send json structures with commands is rather nice. -- Len Sorensen
