Just so that you know, there is check 'networkIsConfiguredForExternalNetworking' in ExternalGuestNetworkGuru. Which basically checks if provider is configured as service provider using external physical appliances. So when you declare provider, mark 'isExternal' as true in the provider constructor. > >If I have to write my own methods, I think I understand how to >override ExternalGuestNetworkGuru and then get it to run by adding it to >the components.xml (or nonoss-components.xml) as well as the >componentContext.xml.in. > >If I do not have to actually write the logic for the non-overlapping cidrs >(which i am hoping is the case), and the ExternalGuestNetworkGuru actually >implements that logic, how would I get the ExternalGuestNetworkGuru into >my >flow without actually overriding the class?
