Hi,

To answer my own question:

I was assuming (yup, bad idea) that the "dummy" controller that comes with OVS 
was smart enough to do some low-level flow control.
Alas, I learned I really need to set up a controller in order to get non-local 
routing.

Information assimilated, problem solved.

Wkr,

Jhon
