No worries :).  Yes, that's one thing, we need to take into account the
hairpin_snat_ip.

I was also asking for a new system-ovn.at test (e2e test) that exercises
those flows.  That's partially because I still don't fully understand
how reply traffic is supposed to be handled.  But a test might clarify
that for me.

Thanks,
Dumitru
