So, I actually started work on this and have it 90% of the way there.

You can set up your own salt master inside of the project and point your
instances to it. At that point you'd have full salt control of all of your
project's instances. Of course, a problem there is that the master on
virt0/1000 wouldn't be able to talk to the instances anymore. There's a
salt feature to handle that, though: syndic. So, what we'd need to do is
set up your master as a syndic, then trust the syndic on virt0/1000. The
syndic would pass any commands along that come from virt0/1000.

Maybe I can finish this up and write some docs.
