What you describe slightly resembles how ironic-inspector works. It needs
to serve DHCP to nodes that are NOT know to Ironic, so it manages iptables
rules giving (or not giving access) to the dnsmasq instance. I wonder if we
may find some common code between these 2, but I definitely don't want to
reinvent Neutron :) I'll think about it after seeing your spec and/or code,
I'm already looking forward to them!
