[Openstack] communication between two VMs

Hi David,

The interface name "eth1" implies - or at least strongly suggests - that
each of your VMs has two interfaces (eth0 and eth1).  Is that the case?

It's also a bit odd that you have to do 'ifconfig eth1 up' by hand.
Normally the VM OS should do that; and if it isn't, there are probably
other things that aren't happening for eth1, such as DHCP and setting up
the routing table for it.

Could you do what you're trying to do first with just one VM interface,
eth0, which OpenStack should fully set up for you?

       Neil
