I greately appreciate your response. My setup goes like this: I have 4 virtual machines in a vserver. Two stand for planetlab nodes, one for myplc and one for omf-aggregator-manager.
omf-aggegator manager has two virtual ethernet interfaces, one for internet and one for the dhcp server. The nodes and myplc have only one for internet.
myplc is as follows.
On a centos 5.5 I have setup a vserver which runs fedora 8 and this one contains myplc with the following setup:

In addition to that I have setup a vlan with a vswitch for omf-aggrregator manager, and two physical ethernet interfaces where the wireless routers will be put.
Routers will be assigned ips 10.0.0.x from omf-aggregator manager as recommended in OMF installation-and-Hello-World tutorial.
I have an account at http://www.planet-lab.org/ since I study in NTUA, so I am not sure whether I can check https://www.planet-lab.eu:443/db/nodes/interface.php?id=125 somehow. I would be
very interested in doing it though as it seems it would be a great help.
Since this project is actually my thesis, I may have to do some (or if I dont stand so lucky- much:P) coding on my own, in order to make the binding, and after wards perform the experiment.
> This is the general idea; then the interface should come up as part of the usual boot process---->would you be kind enough to explain this a bit more? Meaning that I will manage the interfaces
as real interfaces inside myplc?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Of course if anything goes wrong the first thing to check is whether the interface has been correctly brought up, i.e. whether it can be accessed from the root context.

The purpose of my experiment is to use SFA in order to give a user a slice which consists of wireless nodes+planetlab slivers. The main idea comes from this:
