Getting inbound connectivity over fixed_ips can be tricky. It looks like you want to set up a specific range from vms that is not snatted. there is a config option for this called dmz_cidr. Anything in the dmz_cidr range will not be snatted. For example, if your vms are on: 10.0.0.0/16 and your internal network hosts are on: 10.1.0.0/16 the following config options would work: fixed_range=10.0.0.0/16 dmz_cidr=10.1.0.0/16 You will have to restart the nova-network workers after making the change. Note that security groups will block outside access as well, so you will have to allow ports like you do for floating ips. FYI, an alternative plan that some organizations use is to put floating ips on the internal network and get in that way.
