I believe that this bug only happens if: a) you have your floating ips on a different interface from your flat ips b) you are using an external gateway for the fixed ips (a custom dnsmasq config file) I've noticed that self-ping also breaks if you have dmz_cidr set to your fixed_range (this isn't necessary and should be removed) I suspect you don't have the broken setup, because it also seems to completely break floating ips per this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1096985 Assuming you are hitting the same bug, there isn't really a good workaround besides merging the patch.
