It was my intention to get the review done, however, shouldn't I upload
the package first???

my_ip is the IP of the server running Nova. For example, consider this:

         |
<Internet (public IP)>
         |
********************
* cloud controler: *
* - API servers    *
* - network router *
* - etc.           *
********************
   192.168.1.1
        |
        +-----------------------------
        |                            |
   192.168.1.2                  192.168.1.3
        |                            |
**********************   **********************
* Nova compute node1 *   * Nova compute node2 *
**********************   **********************

The 192.168.1.0/24 network is the management network, where you will
plug as many compute nodes as you need. Here, my_ip should be
192.168.1.2 for node1, and 192.168.1.3 for node2. The my_ip directive
will be guessed by the config script of Nova, trying to find the network
interface connected to the default gateway.

Does it make sense now?
