I have performed this installation and now have a control host and

1. First, I believe that I need nova-networking running on each compute
hosts to avoid routing all traffic through a dedicated network host,
but I'm not sure how to check to see that the networking service is
running on my compute host.
2. Lars helped me set up a single-host setup, which put my instances on
our 192.168.0.0/16 network by using an ovs bridge (br-ex) with the
IP of the host on the bridge, which owns eth0, but I'm not sure how
that relates to this new setup. Should I create the same type of
bridged connection on each compute host?
Eric,
If you're working with the configuration you and I worked on, you're
using neutron, so you can't use nova-networking on each compute host,
unless you decide to ditch neutron.
Neutron does not have an operational model matching nova-network's
multi-host mode.
You can set up Neutron in an active/passive configuration if you want
to have some fault tolerance, but a given external network is always
going to route through a single node when using the native Linux layer
3 agent.
You can use vendor plugins from Cisco, etc., if you need a more
performant configuration (but I don't have any details on what that
would look like).
