HA hook's URLs should support DNS resolution with configurable re-resolution
name: Feature request
about: Allow using DNS resolution in HA hook's URLs
Some initial questions
- Are you sure your feature is not already implemented in the latest Kea version? yes
- Are you sure what you would like to do is not possible using some other mechanisms? not reasonable
- Have you discussed your idea on kea-users or kea-dev mailing lists? no
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am deploying HA Kea on Kubernetes where (using SDNs) pod(/container) IPs are not constant. The hostname can be made persistent though.
Now I can create a Kubernetes service per Pod which will assign a so-called cluster IP which is stable and gets redirected to the pod. This works alright for HA communicating to the control agent, but not using the dedicated listener.
Describe the solution you'd like Preferably allow using DNS (re-)resolution for HA hook's URLs. Or allow specifying the listener's bind-address.
Funding its development Kea is run by ISC, which is a small non-profit organization without any government funding or any permanent sponsorship organizations. Are you able and willing to participate financially in the development costs? no
Participating in development Are you willing to participate in the feature development? ISC team always tries to make a feature as generic as possible, so it can be used in wide variety of situations. That means the proposed solution may be a bit different that you initially thought. Are you willing to take part in the design discussions? Are you willing to test an unreleased engineering code? yes
Contacting you preferably via gitlab.
