My use case is that I have two behaviorally different external subnets --- 
they are treated differently by stuff outside of OpenStack, with 
consequences that are meaningful to tenants.  Thus, I have two categories 
of floating IP addresses, depending on which external subnet holds the 
floating IP address.  The difference is meaningful to tenants.  So I need 
to enable a tenant to request a floating IP address of a specific 
category.  Since Neutron equates floating IP address allocation pool with 
network, I need two external networks.

Both of these external subnets are present on the same actual external 
LAN, thus both are reached through the same host NIC.

It looks to me like the allowed mac/IP address pair feature will not solve 
this problem.

Thanks,
Mike
