> It would be very useful if there was a way to specify a MAC addresses / IP address pool for a particular network offering. This way, when a VM starts it gets a static, predefined lease from a DHCP server in the infrastructure's network.
> For example, we are using CloudStack in a test cluster at CERN, but due to our network restrictions, each machine on the network must be pre-registered. With this pool feature, it will make possible to register all the possible VMs in advance and get an IP from our central DHCP servers.
> In order to avoid expensive IP address lookups it should possible to pre-define an IP address for each MAC address. This is more or less the same parameters that someone would put in a dhcpd configuration for static leases.
> This should also be possible for the system VMs... this does not cancel-out the use of Virtual Router / Security Groups. On the contrary, they will need the static lease in order to be granted access to the infrastructure network.
