[Openstack] Multiple floating IPs one instance

In our KVM deployment we've found mapping 2 floating IPs to an instance
(pulled from 2 separate external network floating IP pools) like this is
perfectly possible, with the proviso that with port security enabled on the
Neutron ports static routes must be placed on the instance to ensure that
traffic uses the correct interface, i.e. return traffic that came in on the
private interface associated with one floating IP must go out the same
interface and not another (or it will likely be dropped at the hypervisor).

Thanks,
Paul
