[one-users] Host-Based VLAN

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi Hutson,

This is functionality is now being "up-ported" from OpenNebula core to the
cloud APIs. The approach will be similar to that used for VM templates. The
site admins will provide a base template for the site and vlan drivers. And
the user will only deal with IP ranges...

Cheers and thanks for your great feedback!
