public_interface == the interface where floating (natted) ips will be created.


In flatdhcp mode flat_interface is a physical interface that will get added in 
to br100 along with all the vm interfaces (see 
http://wiki.openstack.org/UnderstandingFlatNetworking)

In vlan mode, you specify vlan_interface instead of flat_interface. In this 
case a separate is created on the interface for each tenant in the system. Vms 
for each tenant are bridged into their own vlan.
