Please provide an example config.json, hosts-v4.txt and/or hosts-v6.txt when dhcplb is configured as server, or at least give the public a hint on how to use this piece of wonderful open-sourced software as a dhcp server. Kindly improve documentation on the usage of dhcplb as a server.

Thank you.

I apologize for the lack of documentation.

The hosts-v4.txt and hosts-v6.txt are only used when dhcplb is configured as a relayer / load balancer to know where to forward packets. Internally we implement the DHCPServerSourcer interface and use a service discovery mechanism instead of using files.

With regards to using it as a server, I added an example of how to put everything together in Extending DHCPLB. Some interfaces need to be implemented to adapt it to your infra/needs.

Let me know if it looks good or if there is something else you would like us to improve in the docs.
