Jeff,
Everyone's network setup can be different and MAAS tries not to be prescriptive at all but does assume that anyone setting this stuff up will know a bit about networks. If you are hiding your nodes from the internet behind your MAAS server then I don't think I'd say that MAAS is actively doing anything to harm you here, you just need to know to enable ip_forward and NAT.
As I said in my first reply, I think MAAS can do a bit better at helping these simple "seed cloud" setups and encourage a scripted installation that will configure everything for you. This sort of thing would rarely get used on large installs though as most large users will be a bit more paranoid about explicitly configuring every tiny detail themselves. Many of them don't even want MAAS to manage DHCP.
I'll amend the title of this bug now to reflect the fact that we want MAAS to do some scripted installation scenarios to cover common "small" use cases.
Thanks for filing this!
