Just set up your DHCP server on that network, and ensure that no Neutron DHCP server is set up. For example, leave out DHCP configuration in https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/la... and create subnets with openstack subnet create --no-dhcp.

Not sure, but if you don't use the built-in DHCP servers, why not disable or uninstall them altogether?

@Bernd Bausch: Does this apply to VLAN networks as well? we confiugred 1x Vlan network which is mapped to our OpenStack controller / compute nodes and we would like to manage the DHCP IP allocation from the external physical router. OpenStack creates an IP address pool too, which is not needed

I understand that you have a single VLAN to which all your cloud nodes are connected. IN this case they are not VLAN-aware, and the VLAN is just a network for them. Put a DHCP server on that same VLAN and it's not different from the above.
