By default it's not possible to attach a VM vif to an "external"
network, even if this is "shared". However, playing around with the
policy.json file I could do it. Still, I'm unable to only allow
creating vifs on *one* of multiple external networks I have. Here is
how I did: http://www.s3it.uzh.ch/blog/openstack-neutron-vlan/

What Kris told you about the error you get is right: even if you get a
"No valid host" error, the *real* error is to be found in the compute
node, and it's related to the inability of the compute node to attach
the VM interface to the external network.
