Open Stack

Damnit, sent before reading.

To delete the SNAT rule in the last part of my message, I'm running the
following in root's crontab
* * * * * /sbin/iptables -t nat --flush nova-network-snat

I'm going to dig into the python to stop it from setting it in the first
place, but I haven't had the time yet. The rules get re-added every time
you change the openstack config, by adding a virt, or editing any of the
security groups etc.
