[Openstack-operators] [neutron] Interesting networking issue - need help

If I set --router:external=False on the Public net, will that cause Neutron
to create a purely virtual router based on an instance instead of playing
games with the hardware NIC?   Sure, that will "burn an instance", but it
will have the advantage in that it might actually work!  :-)
