Yes, this would be excellent. Conceptually at least, in Juju, we have a
place for "the internet" as a dedicated Network (networks are
collections of spaces) and for "shadow-ip addresses" (which are
addresses on one network that tunnel to addresses on another network).
These concepts give us elastic IPs very naturally, but they also are
important for cross-model relations in the private cloud, and I think we
should map out and implement this carefully as one coherent hybrid cloud
operations story.
