CloudStack MAC address scheme
You can operate an external-to-CloudStack DHCP server by filtering the MAC addresses that
CloudStack generates for VMs. CloudStack uses the following logic to assign MAC addresses.
06:<zone-id>:<random>:<random>:<random>:<random>
Configuring your external DHCP server to ignore MAC addresses that begin with 06: should
permit you to allow a non-CloudStack DHCP server. Please note that you'll also need to
exclude your private and public ranges from the IP address range that your external DHCP
server hands out.
