Kea DHCPv6 PD range syntax with dynamic prefix

[Maurice]

I gave Kea a try by replicating my ISC DHCPv6 configuration.

ISC (works): PD range from ::80:0:0:0:0 to ::f0:0:0:0:0, PD size 60.
Kea (new): Prefix ::80:0:0:0:0, prefix length 57, delegated length 60.

But Kea doesn't merge the range and instead literally leases 0:0:0:80::/60 to 0:0:0:f0::/60.

Any hints appreciated.

Cheers

Kea itself is so enterprisey that it assumes all you ever need are static configurations (much like plain ISC DHCP before it).

Dnsmasq has a tracking feature for this.

We are considering options for Kea not wanting to include the old way to glue prefixes together just yet.

Got it. So currently, dnsmasq can't do downstream PD at all (correct?) and Kea can't handle dynamic prefixes?

ISC it is. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Right now you are correct.
