We don't have to do this. Is there any difference in ethernet device
naming between the nodes? We've found that openstack is somewhat
brittle if you have a mixture of interface names across nova-compute
nodes.

We've run both ways without any issue.

I *think* this needs to be setup for the host that is running
nova-network only. I might be wrong though.

Absolutely. You'll need good dot1q tagged connectivity between the
nova-network server and all nodes running nova-compute.

When debugging these issues, i've added an IP address to the bridged
interface on the nova-compute host to test connectivity to the n-net
server.
