Hi Byeong,

Surely you can use multiple network nodes, if you want make it HA, you can
read these:

http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/app_demo_multi_dhcp_agents.html
http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/ha_pacemaker.html
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/L3_High_Availability_VRRP

hope it helps

Damon
