[Openstack] instances without a floating ip address

Hi Jagga,

I don't think that's the right approach.Floating ip will effectively do a
1:1 NAT for a given a vm to reach external resources. But, there should be
a ip from the external network that gets assigned to SNAT namespace on
network node, this effectively will let all vm's (without floating ip)
access external resources.

I'd suggest you check at your snat namespace for possible issues, as you
seem to have patched the problem for that vm with floating ip's.

As per design, you don't need to assign floating ip's for your vm's to get
out, this should be done by SNAT by default as mentioned earlier, where all
the vm's internal ip space maps one external ip.

Regards,
Dileep
