To correct this part a bit, Nova sets up ibtables rules for the metadata 
service using the 'metadata_host' config setting which defaults to 
$my_ip. There are a handful of config settings that default to $my_ip if 
not specified. But, I think since 'my_ip' is defined as the host's IP on 
the management network, we anyway need to give users the ability to set 
it if they are in a situation where their host has more than one IP.

For the metadata service iptables issue, it's only needed by the Nova 
metadata API service. But, I wonder if it should be able to be set for 
any Nova service since any Nova service could make use of the 'my_ip' 
setting and 'my_ip' is defined as "IP on the management network." I'm 
not sure. I need to do a full audit on where all it's used directly and 
indirectly.

Thank you all for the helpful replies!
