Okay, that makes sense.

With a multi_host, flatDHCP model, is the general idea that fixed_ips
are -- generally -- internal to the compute host, and all external
access is supposed to be via floating ips?  That's sort of how it
looks, but I hadn't seen that states explicitly anywhere.

How does fixed_range interact with networks created via 'nova-manage
network create ...'?  There are a few bugs (e.g.,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/741626) that suggest things need
to be specified in both places.   Is that correct?
