Re: Network node needed?

 

Great, thanks Logan.

Also, for anyone on the list that aren't aware of it; last night I
"discovered" the Openstack Operations Guide at:
http://docs.openstack.org/ops/

It contains lots of answers to questions that I'd not found anywhere
else.  The only downside is that it doesn't cover quantum.
