Hi Ricardo,

Since this feature has been targeted as tech preview, such issues are unfortunately
happening as the current integration didn't count for L3 services yet.

Yes this is the initial design of the feature. Since it didn't account for
L3 services, there is this side effect.

In addition, do you mind trying to use static IPs inside the VMs and not DHCP
that is provided by neutron, and see if this would help?
