Hi stakers,

We’re trying to replace dnsmasq-supplied DHCP for tenant VMs with a vendor’s 
baremetal DHCP server. In order to pass DHCP request to a vendor’s server and 
send DHCP response back to VM we decided to add another OVS bridge (we called 
it br-dhcp), connected to integration bridge (br-int), which will have OVS 
rules connecting VM’s MAC address with br-dhcp port. In this scenario DHCP 
response will only find it’s way back to a VM if VM has globally-unique MAC 
address. 

My questions are: 
is having code which generates globally-unique MACs for VMs acceptable by the 
community at all?
is there a better solution to the problem (we also tried using dnsmasq as a 
DHCP relay there)?

Thanks,
Roman
