I've seen docs but they all say to set up an L3 agent. In our case, our VM's are all set up in a flat network. How do I set up a metadata agent with no L3 agent?

You'll need to install the following iptable rule on all your HV's that have instances connected to the flat network:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 169.254.169.254 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination <nova-api>:8775

note: your nova-api host will need to be able to route packets to/from this network in order for it to work otherwise you'll need to run a nova-api-metadata instance on the flat network which will proxy the requests for you.

The nova-api host needs to route packets to/from which network, exactly?
