Description

When natOutgoing is enabled in a IPPool, packets sent from Calico networked containers in this IP pool to destinations will be SNATed(msaqueraded).

However, we would prefer that the traffic accessing local cluster hosts should not be msaqueraded.

Provide a enum setting natOutgoingExclusions(default: IPPoolsOnly) in felix config.

Configure which type of destinations is excluded from being masqueraded.

  • IPPoolsOnly: destinations outside of this IP pool will be masqueraded.
  • IPPoolsAndHostIPs: destinations outside of this IP pool and all hosts will be masqueraded.

To maintain compatibility, this setting is not unconditionally enabled. We can consider switching its default value to IPPoolsAndHostIPs in the future version.
