How do I serve DHCP from an OpenStack Instance to a physical server external to OpenStack?
Issue
- Customer wants to serve DHCP from an instance to a host outside of OpenStack
- Customer is using ISC DHCP on instance, not OpenStack's DHCP server

- DHCP logs show DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER; but not DHCPREQUEST nor DHCPACK
Environment
