Open Stack

 Hi!

 For some days now I am trying to figure out what is the problem and 
 IceHouse instances don't get internet access (you can have a look here: 
 https://www.mail-archive.com/openstack@lists.openstack.org/msg07138.html 
 )

 Today I 've discovered that I have to put a NAT-firewall rule in the 
 compute node every time I start an instance. The rule that is needed is:

 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o  eth0 -j MASQUERADE


 If I put the rule and then I start an instance then the instance 
 doesn't have internet connectivity unless I put the rule again. The same 
 applies if I start a second instance! All of them are loosing 
 internet-connectivity. Putting the rule again and all of them are 
 connected again. And the same happens again and again.

 Is this a bug somewhere??? Am I missing something??

 You all understand that it's not convenient at all to have to execute 
 this every time an instance is started!

 Looking forward to hear your thoughts!

 Regards,


 G.
