KEA-DHCP-DDNS(8)		      Kea		      KEA-DHCP-DDNS(8)

NAME
       kea-dhcp-ddns - DHCP-DDNS process in Kea

SYNOPSIS
       kea-dhcp-ddns [-v] [-V] [-W] [-d] [-c config-file] [-t config-file]

DESCRIPTION
       The  kea-dhcp-ddns  service  process  requests an update	of DNS mapping
       based on	DHCP lease-change events. It runs as a separate	 process  that
       expects to receive Name Change Requests from Kea	DHCP servers.

ARGUMENTS
       The arguments are as follows:

       -v     Displays the Kea version.

       -V     Displays the extended Kea	version.

       -W     Displays the configuration report.

       -d     Sets  the	 logging  level	to debug with extra verbosity. This is
	      primarily	for development	purposes in stand-alone	mode.

       -c config-file
	      Specifies	the configuration file with the	configuration for  the
	      DHCP-DDNS	 server. It may	also contain configuration entries for
	      other Kea	services.

       -t config-file
	      Checks the syntax	of the	configuration  file  and  reports  the
	      first error, if any. Note	that not all parameters	are completely
	      checked; in particular, a	service	socket is not opened.

DOCUMENTATION
       Kea  comes  with	 an  extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that
       covers all aspects of running the Kea software -	compilation, installa-
       tion, configuration, configuration examples, and	much  more.  Kea  also
       features	 a  Kea	Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea
       can print with a	brief description for each of them. Both documents are
       available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf)	with the Kea distribu-
       tion. The Kea documentation is available	at https://kea.readthedocs.io.

       Kea source code is documented in	the Kea	Developer's  Guide,  available
       at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.

       The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.

MAILING	LISTS AND SUPPORT
       There  are  two	public	mailing	 lists	available for the Kea project.
       kea-users (kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while
       kea-dev (kea-dev	at lists.isc.org)  is  intended	 for  Kea  developers,
       prospective  contributors,  and	other  advanced	 users.	Both lists are
       available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides  best-effort
       support on both of those	lists.

       ISC    provides	  professional	 support   for	 Kea   services.   See
       https://www.isc.org/kea/	for details.

HISTORY
       The b10-dhcp-ddns process was first coded in May	2013 by	 Thomas	 Mark-
       walder.

       Kea  became  a standalone server	and the	BIND 10	framework was removed.
       The DHCP-DDNS server binary was renamed to kea-dhcp-ddns	in July	 2014.
       Kea 1.0.0 was released in December 2015.
