I already have it sub-netted to 10.10.11.128/26 and have 
--fixed_range=10.10.11.128/26 in nova.conf.

On each host I see an iptables rule like this natting the 
169.254.169.254 address to the br100 address of the host like this:
-A nova-network-PREROUTING -d 169.254.169.254/32 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 
80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.10.20.114:8775

But "wget http://169.254.169.254/"; on the controller node gives me the 
horizon index page!
On the other compute nodes it gives "connection refused".

Should metadata_host be set to the public (eth0) ip of the host instead?

Tx for the advice so far.
