<p class="MsoNormal">Recently we've had similar situation with a customer. Turned out that traffic going from VM's fixed IP to floating IP of another VM on the same physical host never gets to public interface and thus never SNATed, and response never gets
back.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We fixed it by unsetting 'public_interface' and re-creating floating IPs with --interface=<public_interface> flag. It ensures that all packets from VMs are source-translated, and also that floating IPs are assigned to correct interface.<o:p></o:p></p>
