[Openstack] One Openstack attached to many existing networks?

Hi!

We are trying to create setup where one opestack cluster is connected to 
many existing networks. Networks are each assigned to some specific 
customer, and every network can have different ip range available.

For example;
  * cust1 has network 10.26.3.0/24, and has available ip's on 
10.26.3.144 - 10.26.3.151 ( /29 mask)
  * cust2 has network 10.35.168.0/24 and has available ip's on 
10.35.168.128 - 10.35.168.192

I've tried to setup this environment wit nova-network, but with not too 
much success.
Tried something like:

nova-manage network create --label TUNK --fixed_range_v4=10.26.3.0/24 
--vlan=1506 --multi_host='T' --dns1=10.131.38.201 --dns2=10.231.52.2 
--gateway=10.26.3.1 --fixed_cidr=10.26.3.144/29 --num_networks=1 
--network_size=8

I've tried many different combinations, but haven't still got setup where:
  * network is /24
  * there is network_size 8
  * fixed ip's start from .144

Preferably we would put virtual machines directly to that network, but 
if that is not possible, then even floating ip's on every network is ok.

What you think, is this even possible with nova-network? And what about 
quantum?
