Title:
  fips between two provider nets can never work

Status in neutron:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  If you create two provider networks, mark one as shared, and the other
  as external and shared, neutron will happily let you associate a
  floating ip from the first to the second.

  But, provider nets have gateways outside of neutron's control, so the
  NAT on the neutron node can never happen.

  But, neutron still tries to fire up an ip on the gateway ip, so it
  sometimes works, based on who wins the arp race.

  The workaround is to disable the gateway on the networks and put in a
  static route for 0.0.0.0/gw instead.

  But, umm, yuck.
