dnsmasq does not give any lease, but KEA dhcp does

[JL]

I don't understand how this possible and cannot find anything extraordinary hinting at a reason why.

dnsmasq : disabled : configured dhcp + dns

kea dhcp: enabled : configure dhcp, uses unbound for DNS (so no host resolved), this gives leased and DNS lookups work except for LAN, as expected

switching to dnsmasq, disable kea, disable unbound, enable dnsmasq
no leases are handed out by dnsmasq

so, same firewall configuration, no leases
in 'live view' i do see bogon network detection + a drop, these are multiple drops for dnsmasq while a single drop for kea
dnsmasq = no lease, kea = lease

please, your thoughts and recommendations

Post screenshots of your complete Kea and DNSmasq configuration.

I have my configuration integrated into dnsmasq and kea.

it works.   setup dhcp ranges first.  then static hosts of needed.

I go back and forth between them on the occasion just to see if I notice anything(mainly memory use resources).  so far I haven't but still use kea for my home network
