This change is fine because we proxy the VNC connection and do access control at the proxy, but it assumes that ESX hosts are not externally routable. In a non-OpenStack VMware deployment, accessing a VM's console requires the end user to have a direct connection to an ESX host. This leads me to believe that many VMware administrators may leave ESX hosts externally routable if not specifically directed otherwise. The above change makes a design decision which requires ESX hosts not to be externally routable. There may also be other reasons. We need to ensure that this is very clearly documented. This may already be documented, btw, but I don't know how our documentation is organised, and would prefer that somebody more familiar with it assures themselves that this has been given appropriate weight.
