Hi everyone,

first of all I wish everyone a happy new year.

Please let me start the new year witch an older "project" wich I would like to start again. But at this time Iam not sure, what would be the right way.  The topic is about switching the DHCP Server from ISC to ..?... KEA or Dnsmasq.

At this time Iam running Dnsmasq in my homelab, but Iam only using it because of the vendor specific ("Ubiquiti") DHCP options. I think some of us knows the problem, when the unifi controller is located outside the network.

Does anyone have some experiences using KEA with such options ? Or maybe some has an recommendation, which DHCP i should try to implement?
Is it better to focus on KEA, or is DnsMasq also a good choice ?

Thanks a lot for helping me.
