[Openstack] How to support for multiple external networks?

Hi Ray,

in general it is possible to use two (or more) subnets in one external 
network, but all instances then will get IPs from both subnets (if the 
floating IPs on subnetA are allocated, the next ones will be allocated from 
subnetB).

So you need to create two (non-shared, tenant specific) external networks. For 
the VLAN dedication you could use 1 L3 Agent per 1 external network.

cheers,
hauke
