@Murali I am not trying DVR/HA. I am only doing the legacy setup. Its just that I wanted multiple external networks and some of them were on a different host. The instance was attached to several private/internal networks with each internal network attached to an external network through a router. When I assign floating-ip I noted that the nat rules were being created in a completely wrong namespace, which is why I decided to try out the multiple-l3-agent scenario, which did work but with some drawbacks that I had mentioned in previous mails.
@Kevin I apologize for my language. I seriously want to motivate and not insult anyone participating in this community be it individual or corporate. May be Its just my thinking is wrong, but either ways I wasn't 'accusing' anyone. My Intention was only to urge the Individual contributors to catch up with the big names out there. I am running several l3-agents on same host. Its my fault not to mention it explicitly, but a lot of people did understand what exactly I was trying, except that they were on the same page as I was. Setting the router-id I believe locks an agent to a router, which is exactly what I want. Meanwhile I did see several posts / mails mentioning the 'host settings' but none of them give detailed information. The l3-agent seems to be consuming two options file 'neutron.conf' and 'l3-agent.ini'. Which of these config file should contain the option and under which group?
