Hi Jeff,

My nodes can access the Internet perfectly well, which demonstrates that your problem is entirely dependent on each kind of network set up.

This is partly why there is a proxy setting on the region controller, but this is not used after the node is installed.

So I think MAAS can do better in a couple of ways:
 1. Set up the proxy on installed nodes if it's set on the region's settings
 2. Allow admins to configure ip forwarding on the region controller

However #2 is problematic because the region controller is not really a single machine on scaled-out installation, there could be many appservers and Postgres slaves.

How do you think MAAS could help in that scenario where the region is not a single machine?

Cheers.
