Here are several flags that you must set on your compute host for a multi
host deploy:


   - :option:`--vncserver_listen` <https://github.com/openstack/nova#id3> -
   defaults to 127.0.0.1 This is the address that vncservers will bind, and
   should be overridden in production deployments as a private address.
   Applies to libvirt only. For multi-host libvirt deployments this should be
   set to a host management ip on the same network as the proxies.
   - :option:`--vncserver_proxyclient_address`<https://github.com/openstack/nova#id5>
-
   defaults to 127.0.0.1 This is the address of the compute host that nova
   will instruct proxies to use when connecting to instance vncservers. For
   all-in-one xen server domU deployments this can be set to 169.254.0.1. For
   multi-host xen server domU deployments this can be set to a dom0 management
   ip on the same network as the proxies. For multi-host libvirt deployments
   this can be set to a host management ip on the same network as the proxies.
   - :option:`--novncproxy_base_url=[base url for client
connections]`<https://github.com/openstack/nova#id7> -
   this is the public base url to which clients will connect. "?token=abc"
   will be added to this url for the purposes of auth. When using the system
   as described in this document, an appropriate value is "
   http://$SERVICE_HOST:6080/vnc_auto.html"; where SERVICE_HOST is a public
   hostname.

Suppose you have 2 servers, APISERVER and COMPUTESERVER:

APISERVER:
public hostname = my.server.com
management ip = 192.168.1.1
public ip = 172.24.4.1

COMPUTESERVER:
management ip = 192.168.1.2

Your nova.conf con COMPUTESERVER would need the following flags:

novncproxy_base_url=http://my.server.com:6080/vnc_auto.html or
novncproxy_base_url=http://172.24.4.1:6080/vnc_auto.html
vncserver_proxyclient_address=192.168.1.2
vncserver_listen=192.168.1.2

Note that novncproxy_base_url references a public ip or hostname (so
clients can connect), while the other flags use private ips.
