Open Stack

Also,

There is no need for "multihost = true" when using with IPv6...

Why?

Because "Multihost = true" turns on a NAT table (MASQUERADE I think) within
each compute node... Effectively hiding its running Instances and acting as
its default gateway but... Let IPv6 do the job without NAT...   =P

NOTE: Please, let me know if my above statement is wrong... I like to hear
criticism, I have no problem with that...

Long life to OpenStack!

Cheers!
Thiago
