Review Comment:
   [nitpick] The CIDR parsing and validation logic (lines 618-629) is embedded 
directly in `createLoadBalancerRule`. Consider extracting this into a helper 
function (e.g., `parseCIDRList(cidrs string) ([]string, error)`) to:
   1. Improve testability - the validation logic could be unit tested 
independently
   2. Enable reuse - if firewall or Network ACL rules need to respect this 
annotation in the future (which they should for security consistency)
   3. Simplify the `createLoadBalancerRule` function
   
   This would follow the pattern established by existing helper functions like 
`getStringFromServiceAnnotation` and `getBoolFromServiceAnnotation`.

Review Comment:
   The error message doesn't include the underlying error from 
`net.ParseCIDR(cidr)`, which could provide valuable debugging information. 
Consider wrapping the error:
   
   ```go
   return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid CIDR %q in annotation %s: %w", cidr, 
ServiceAnnotationLoadBalancerSourceCidrs, err)
   ```
   
   This would give users more context about why the CIDR is invalid (e.g., 
"invalid CIDR notation" vs "CIDR address has host bits set").
   ```suggestion
                                return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid CIDR %q in 
annotation %s: %w", cidr, ServiceAnnotationLoadBalancerSourceCidrs, err)
   ```

Review Comment:
   The new annotation `ServiceAnnotationLoadBalancerSourceCidrs` lacks a 
documentation comment explaining its purpose and usage. For consistency with 
`ServiceAnnotationLoadBalancerProxyProtocol` (lines 41-44), consider adding a 
comment that describes:
   - What the annotation does
   - The expected format (comma-separated CIDRs)
   - Any version requirements or constraints
   ```suggestion
        ServiceAnnotationLoadBalancerLoadbalancerHostname = 
"service.beta.kubernetes.io/cloudstack-load-balancer-hostname"

the
        // service to specify the allowed source CIDRs for a CloudStack load 
balancer.
        // The value should be a comma-separated list of CIDRs (e.g., 
"10.0.0.0/8,192.168.1.0/24").
        // If not specified, the default is to allow all sources ("0.0.0.0/0").
        // There are no specific CloudStack version requirements for this 
annotation.

Review Comment:
   The annotation `ServiceAnnotationLoadBalancerSourceCidrs` only affects the 
load balancer rule's CIDR list, but doesn't affect firewall rules (which use 
`service.Spec.LoadBalancerSourceRanges` at line 188) or Network ACL rules 
(which are hardcoded to `0.0.0.0/0` at line 922).
   
   This creates an inconsistent security posture where:
   1. The load balancer rule may restrict access to specific CIDRs via the 
annotation
   2. But the firewall/ACL rules could allow broader access, effectively 
bypassing the restriction
   
   **Recommendation:** Consider one of these approaches:
   - **Option 1 (Preferred):** Use a unified CIDR source that checks the 
annotation first, falls back to `service.Spec.LoadBalancerSourceRanges`, then 
to `defaultAllowedCIDR`. Apply this to all three security mechanisms (LB rules, 
firewall rules, and Network ACLs).
   - **Option 2:** Document clearly that users must set both the annotation AND 
`service.Spec.LoadBalancerSourceRanges` to the same values for consistent 
security enforcement.
   - **Option 3:** Have the annotation take precedence and automatically apply 
it to firewall and ACL rules as well.
   
   Option 1 would provide the most intuitive and secure behavior, as it aligns 
with Kubernetes' standard `LoadBalancerSourceRanges` field while allowing the 
CloudStack-specific annotation to override it when needed.
