[Bug 757258] [NEW] Unable to reach instances from their public IP address

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu Maverick (Eucalyptus 2.0) I'm not able to reach the eucalyptus
instances, due to the firewall rules. I didn't find exactly the problem,
but I only know that it's iptables which drops packages.

Our setup is, a server with CC, Walrus and SC and two additional servers
with NC, all servers have two network cards, one connected to our public
LAN and another one connected to an isolated switch.

CC and walrus listen on the public LAN network, the SC and NC listen on
the private LAN network.

We are able to launch instances and to connect EBS volumes without
problems. From within the instances, we are able to connect to Internet
without problems, either. However our problem comes when we try to
connect to the instances using the public LAN IP address we assigned on
installation time, all packages are dropped.

For the iptables rules I'm going to attach, we have the public IP
address 10.82.3.1 assigned to the CC public interface (br0), which
points to the 172.19.1.2 ip address assigned to the eucalyputs instance.
I just opened the ping port:

The server where we run the CC, walrus and SC is also used to execute regular KVM servers (nothing related with NC).

We are only able to ssh into the eucalyptus instances from within the CC
using its 172.19.1.2 ip address.

As you can see on the previous iptables output, I added some logging
rules to check where the problem is and this is the output I get while
pinging from my laptop (10.82.5.1):

Apr 11 10:26:32 europe kernel: [466684.316651] iptables denied (input): IN=br0 OUT=br1 PHYSIN=eth0 SRC=10.82.5.1 DST=172.19.1.2 LEN=84 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=62 ID=0 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=7014 SEQ=1428

The only change I did manually to iptables was the addition of the
logging rules, nothing more.

This used to be a 1.6 installation with Lucid, but I cleared everything
while upgrading to Eucalyptus 2.0 / Maverick so from the Eucalyptus
point of view, is a fresh installation.
