Hi,

Yup this is definitely possible. The reason why this isn't set by default
is that some distros don't ship kernels that build with CONFIG_NET_NS=y or
their iproute2 package is to outdated to support linux namespaces.  Also,
until recently nova's metadata service didn't support overlapping ips. If
you are running ubuntu 12.04 you should be able to set:

Q_ALLOW_OVERLAPPING_IP=True

in your localrc to enable this.

or edit your quantum.conf here and restart quantum to enable overlapping
ips.

# Enable or disable overlapping IPs for subnets
# Attention: the following parameter MUST be set to False if Quantum is
# being used in conjunction with nova security groups and/or metadata
service.
# allow_overlapping_ips = False


Aaron

p.s: I don't think this will work in a flat network setup though since
there is no way to isolate that. What plugin are you using?
