Open Stack

Hi,

Quantum supports your scenario without NAT.
It can be done by creating 'shared network' which has public IP range.
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/use_cases_single_flat.html

The following command by the admin user will create such network.
# quantum net-create --shared public_net
# quantum subnet-create --allocation-pools start=10.2.0.100,end=10.2.0.199 public_net 10.2.0.0/24

Thanks,
Akihiro
