Some deployments of the DHCP servers require that the servers listen
on the interfaces with multiple IPv4 addresses configured. In some cases,
multiple instances of the DHCP servers are running concurrently and each
instance should be bound to a different address on the particular interface.
In these situations, the address to use can be selected by
appending an IPv4 address to the interface name in the following manner:

If it is desired that the server listens on multiple IPv4 addresses assigned
to the same interface, multiple addresses can be specified for this interface
as in the example below:

Alternatively, if the server should listen on all addresses for the particular
interface, an interface name without any address should be specified.

Kea supports responding to directly connected clients which don't have
an address configured on the interface yet. This requires that the server
injects the hardware address of the destination into the data link layer

Using UDP sockets automatically disables the reception of brodcast
packets from directly connected clients. This effectively means that the
UDP sockets can be used for relayed traffic only. When using the raw sockets,
both the traffic from the directly connected clients and the relayed traffic
will be handled. Caution should be taken when configuring the server to open
multiple raw sockets on the interface with several IPv4 addresses assigned.
If the directly connected client sends the message to the brodcast address
all sockets on this link will receive this message and multiple responses
will be sent to the client. Hence, the configuration with multiple IPv4
addresses assigned to the interface should not be used when the directly
connected clients are operating on that link. To use a single address on
such interface, the "interface-name/address" notation should be used.
