Re: multiple floating ip pools

 

I'm also interested in providing multiple floating IP pools.  Is this
something that is achievable or conceived?

My use case is as follows:

Each tenant gets its own private VLAN and address space, so
intercommunication between each tenant is able to be segregated.
On assignment of public floating IPs though this segregation breaks down.

To put this into context, I'd like to be able to have, say, a "Production"
tenant and a "Development" tenant.  Inter-communication between the two
should be prohibited.
As soon as I assign a floating IP address, this model breaks down.

I noticed that nova-manage floating create has a  ' --pool=<pool>
Optional pool ' option.  How is this used?  Does this help solve my problem?

Cheers,

Kev
