it would be even nicer if the "virtual router" could be bare metal so as not to use resources required on the hosts Id much prefer to run Vyatta, or other FreeBSD pf box as the virtual router, and just have cloudstack comunicate to it however its probably outside the scope of this document, Im also not sure if its feasible to have an external "virtual router" though i know there Nicera, and other network based plugins, someone should create a VR for baremetal based on the CS image... isnt it FreeBSD anyway ??
