Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way I can provide a CIDR to kubernetes say 192.16.1.0/24  
And request one or more IPs from this IP pool, from within a pod.  
And kubernetes manages this pool and allocates one or more un-used IPs from this pool, whenever a pod requests.

And when a pod is terminating, kubernetes should reclaim those IPs that are used by terminated-pod.

Thanks,  
Nagaraju
