The admin can specify the CIDR to be used for guest VMs (Guest CIDR) during advanced zone creation.
This CIDR is used by default for the Guest Networks. The proposed plan is to have a new parameter say "CS-GuestVM CIDR" which will be a subset of the Guest CIDR. For instance at the time of zone creation the Guest CIDR is 10.1.1.0/24 And the "CS-GuestVM CIDR" is specified as 10.1.1.0/26 So the remaining IPs can now be used for Non Cloudstack VMs/Physical servers. The plan is to now use only 10.1.1.0/26 as the CIDR for Cloudstack Guest Vms. Currently when the user wants to create a new Guest network , he specifies the gateway and subnet mask. The proposal is that he will have additional options to specify the start range and end range for guest vms. The remaining IPs can then be used for Non Cloudstack vms. Also the ranges will be frozen once the network is created.

How about: reserve a range of *usable* ip addresses. Then the admin is free to use the remainder of the range. Questions: 1. Is it one range or multiple? 2. Are there update semantics, or are the ranges frozen once the network is created?
