Problem

On a VPC with public IPs from more than one range/VLAN, the virtual router installs an unscoped source NAT rule on every public interface using the single VPC source NAT address. Because the rule has no source match (-s), it also rewrites traffic the router itself originates, so the VR cannot emit packets with the correct source address from any public interface other than the source-NAT one.

Fix

Add -m addrtype ! --src-type LOCAL to the elif SNAT rule generated in CsAddress.py. This excludes packets whose source is an address on the router, while forwarded (guest) traffic still matches and is SNATed as before.

Verification

The reporter verified the fix manually on the VR:

iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j SNAT --to-source 10.1.30.5
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -m addrtype ! --src-type LOCAL -j SNAT --to-source 10.1.30.5

Closes: #13942

On a VPC with public IPs from more than one range/VLAN, the virtual router
installs an unscoped source NAT rule on every public interface using the
single VPC source NAT address. Because the rule has no source match, it
also rewrites traffic the router itself originates, so the VR cannot emit
packets with the correct source address from any public interface other
than the source-NAT one.

Fix: add `-m addrtype ! --src-type LOCAL` to the elif SNAT rule so it only
matches forwarded (guest) traffic, not locally-generated packets.
