Re: Could s/o clarify if DHCP and L3 agents *must* be on different hosts if namespaces are disabled ?
Hi Gary,

Yes, this works. The problem is ensuring the network isolation. That
is, someone can make changes in the routing table on the host which
will enable one to gain access to the quantum networks. That is why we
suggest that they run on different hosts. We have a review that is
open to enable one to enforce this when the agents starts (this is
disabled by default to ensure backward compatability and to enable one
to run an all in one setup - for proof of concepts and testing)
Damn, makes sense. Once you explain this, the reasons are clear.
So, am I wrong ? What is the terrible thing which could happe in a
next few days if still keeping my environment as it is ?
No, it is not terrible at all.
Great, my mind feels lighter ;-)
