To add to this, as I also am experiencing this problem:

My maas has 2 nics and 2 networks:
  Outbound eth1: talks to the world (or in thsi case my partner OEM's lab network
  Private eth0: talks only to maas-create nodes. Call it 10.0.0.0/24 .

I've set up maas as DHCP & DNS manager for eth0. I have *not* NATed eth0 as the Partner OEM does not like private NATs on its lab network. My /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/maas/dhcp.conf and /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf are saying the right things.

When I create node1 (using fastpath install) I can ping other things on the 10.0.0.0/24 network (by name or address) but cannot ping google.com (even though the name resolves correctly). If I turn on NAT this works.

This makes post-node-startup installation and configuration very problematic.
