Is the issue that ACS doesn't support 169.254.169.254 as the metadata URL? For those hypervisors that use the Linux bridge and iptables, it should be easy to add a DNAT rule to translate it to the VR IP? I'm talking about code change here. Or send down a static route in the DHCP response that points 169.254.269.254 to the VR IP?
