Hi Jay,

If you are running nova-network in a mode that performs DHCP, you should be
sure that the network Nova is connecting VMs to does not have your
corporate DHCP server on it.  Having two conflicting DHCP servers on the
same network will give unpredictable results.  What may be happening is a
"race" between the two DHCP servers.

The second question is whether dnsmasq is actually running.  You didn't say
that you were using --multi_host=True, so by default the network may have
been assigned to either of the two network-nodes you created.  This would
mean that dnsmasq might be running on either of the two servers running
nova-network (either the controller server or compute server).  Can you
check if it is running on the other server?  If it is not running on
either, we'd probably have to see nova-network logs.   For more info on the
--multi_host flag, see:
