HA Load-Balancing Network issue detection between Relay and Kea
Hi,
I have already tried to resolve this issue with the kea users community, but it seems not many are using HA Load Balancing. I have the following problem. Scenario:
Multiple DHCP-Relays at different sites with both KEA-Servers as DHCP-Servers. Both servers are available and the load balancing shifts the requests between the two servers.
Incident: Because of a network issue Kea 1 is not available from the clients. The network connection between Kea 1 and Kea 2 still works, so no partner-down state.
Expected behaviour: Kea 2 sees the unacked clients of Kea 1 and sets Kea 1 in partner-down state and handles all requests.
Experienced behaviour: Kea 2 still reports HA_BUFFER4_RECEIVE_NOT_FOR_US and does not handle the requests. Unacked clients is not counted.
Is there a misunderstanding or configuration mistake on my side?
