Re: Help with virtual router

[Rémi Paeta <si...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I'm reviving this topic.
I saw that it is possible to set the MAC address of an instance thanks to
this pull request:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/2143

Do you think it would be possible to apply the same for the virtual router?

Concerning, the addition of script, is it planned to give the possibility
of defining personalized scripts for keepalived or conntrackd?

Thank you in advance for your answers.
