you can just specify the subnet as part of the boot request.
so if you know the subnet ahead of time its pretty trivial to do this
im not sure if nodepool can do that but it should not be hard to
since nova supports it.
at the nodepool leve you can specify the netwrok at teh pool or lable level
https://zuul-ci.org/docs/nodepool/configuration.html#attr-providers.[openstack].pools.networks
https://zuul-ci.org/docs/nodepool/configuration.html#attr-providers.[openstack].pools.labels.networks
that coudl be extended to the subnet in theory.
