Yes, I think so.  I'm currently working on an OpenStack customer deployment
where they want each instance to have an additional NIC for 'management'
access into and out from that instance; and there is a correspondingly
separate provider network for 'management' purposes between the compute
hosts.  In general, when an instance has multiple NICs, it needs somehow to
arrange that it sets up only one default route, through one of those NICs,
and that non-default routes are used to direct traffic to specific
destinations through the other NICs.

(FWIW, I also submitted a proposal to talk about this in Barcelona: "Routed
(Calico) networking with ECMP, dual fabric planes and data/management
separation".)
