I think SSVM, CPVM will have to use public IP backed by EIP model. Directly assigning public IP to SSVM, CPVM may result them to be non-routable. For e.g NetScaler that provides EIP/ELB service can be the only data entry/exit point in a zone and may be setup in two-arm mode[1] where only NetScaler is in public network. So SSVM/CPVM on the pod's subnet may not be reachable even if they have public IP. [1]:http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/netscaler-getting-started-map- 91/ns-nw-twoarm-mul-sbnt-con.html
