</div>Multiple networks with network_type of 'vlan' are already allowed to<br>
have the same segmentation ID with the ml2, openvswitch, or linuxbridge<br>
plugins - the networks just need to have different physical_network<br>
names. If they have the same network_type, physical_network, and<br>
segmentation_id, they are the same network. What else would distinguish<br>
them from each other?<br>
<br>
Could your use case be addressed by simply using different<br>
physical_network names for each rack? This would provide independent<br>
spaces of segmentation_ids for each.<br>
