Description
This is a fifth ticket created for a patch by Shawn Lewis.
Shawn:
In the current implementation of IPv4 pool (Pool4 in /lib/dhcpsrv/pool.h), the constructor would set the
first and last addresses for a pool based on the prefix, if they are not explicitly specified. But this may
cause conflicted IP addresses or other management issues in practice. For example, if we have a subnet
192.168.1.0/24. The first IP address 192.168.1.0 would be the network ID, while the last IP address
192.168.1.255 would be the broadcast address for the subnet. In addition, 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254
are typically used by network gateways. Therefore, we derive a new Pool4Custom class from Pool4, to
avoid using these four IP addresses. The /lib/dhcpsrc/pool.h(cc) has been updated.

Moving to 0.9.2 as discussed on Kea weekly call today (2014-10-08).
If we hear back from the contributor and receive updated patch, we'll move it back to 0.9.1.
