So if you have an oddball config, you could tag it as multiple resource classes that it's "close enough" to for a match. But I'm not sure whether it's possible for an Ironic node to be tagged with more than one resource class.

When a request for a flavor specifying one of these classes is handled, only the one class’s inventory would be consumed. Placement would think that the node still had one of the other resource class available, and would include that if another request for that class is received, which would then fail as the node is already in use.

Okay, so it's not possible to have one Ironic node with one inventory 
record be classified as two different resource classes. Never mind that 
idea then.

Thanks for pointing that out.
