      I have Kea DHCP setup for HA. The secondary isn't picking up the changes from the primary. Primary log is sometimes reporting these errors:

      WARN  [kea-dhcp4.ha-hooks.0x3b99fd212e00] HA_LEASE_UPDATE_CONFLICT pfsense1: lease update

      Secondary log corresponding error:

      WARN  [kea-dhcp4.lease-cmds-hooks.0x3e328f79ff00] LEASE_CMDS_UPDATE4_CONFLICT lease4-update command failed due to conflict

      Which I would expect Kea to take care of when reconciling the dhcp leases. Nonetheless, when I do something trivial on the primary like add a static mapping or change the DNS server it isn't reflected on the secondary of the HA pair. The HA status shows a happy green heart next to each node on both firewalls with "hot-standby" noted.

      Should I remove the checkmarks from System->High Availlability for DHCP Server since it seems to be handled in the Kea config page? Should I totally blow away the config files on the secondary firewall and hope they're recreated from the primary? Is Kea still not ready for HA prime time or is there something else I missed?
