Narayan,

Are you using multi-host? Is 'public_interface' in your nova.conf set?

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.

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.

Hope that helps.
