[one-users] Dynamic firewall like Amazon

OpenNebula allows you to define private networks that
are accessible by different user groups.  What it does
not have is the ability to assign a (public IP, port)
combination and forward that traffic into the private net.
(In Eucalyptus, for instance, this is the euca-allocate-address,
euca-associate-address set of commands).

It is tricky to do that implementation correctly.  WE liked the
feature but Eucalyptus implemented it in a pig-headed way that
made the frontend be a single bottleneck for network traffic
and a single point of failure.  Hopefully if Opennebula ever
tries it they will do it right.
