I sure will, not only is it not scalable to have all traffic routed 
through just one "node", not to mention HA issues, but in my case while 
incoming traffic gets NAT-ed through the nodes to the specific VM, 
outgoing traffic doesn't go anywhere. There is no SNAT rules on the node 
running the actual VM.

I have installed openstack-nova-network manually, but have not modified 
anything in nova.conf, I'll check this shortly.

Thanks Gary & Sandro!
