Mmmmaybe?  Floating IP support in nova-network is pretty great 
(allocation, assignment, release, etc.) and allows us shuffle around a 
small number of public IPs amongst a much larger number of instances.  
Your suggestion doesn't address that, does it?  Short of my implementing 
a bunch of custom stuff on my own?
