Again, is there a better place to ask these types of questions?

I am trying to get a provider network working where I have full control of
the ip allocations. What I need is to be able to have 2 (or more public ip
addresses, or really to our private network). I know this can't be done
with floating ips, so that is why I am looking to patch it into my network
and just manually configure the ips. (probably also having a flat vm
network as well).

I've got a provider network configured as so, with no dhcp on the subnet:

nova is assigning an ip to the port regardless of there being no dhcp and
therefore the port does not allow me to configure it. Using a different ip
results in the iptables rules rejecting the packets.

Anyone know how to fix this or get around this? Please?
