Hi all,

Thanks, Akihiro and Simon! I didn't know we had such option.

>> Regarding 1, the configuration option "dhcp_agents_per_network" is
introduced. This options specifies the number of DHCP agents scheduled to
host a network.
>> If you set this option to the number of dhcp agents, you can do this.

>> It already exists in Havana by setting the dhcp_agents_per_network
parameter in neutron.conf .
>> Check this commit for details:
