Dear Jason, Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if you understand my question correctly, we wanted to use the network's source nat IP address as the static nat address for an instance. The enableStaticNat API method doesn't support the same and results in "Can't enable static, ip address Ip[10.11.101.156-1] is a sourceNat ip address".
Besides, since return value of createPortForwardingRule (successful asyncjob) does have public/private endport and if I remember correctly it did worked in previous version of cloudstack, we tried to patch createPortForwardingRule method to have publice/private endport parameter. It does work. Now we can use this method for specifying port range. command=createPortForwardingRule&response=json&virtualmachineid=f123fa46-1d9c-4fec-ada0-a261920efe9c&ipaddressid=fe3d6a4a-4afc-4967-9850-f92451e11e28&privateport=1&privateendport=65535&publicport=1&publicendport=65535&protocol=UDP we would like to contribute the patch if there are no obvious reasons for having it missing from Cloudstack 3.x version.

One of our business case, is to forward all the traffic (TCP/UDP), for a IP that belongs to a network, to an instance within the same network. Using createPortForwardingRule API method seems good solution, but we're not sure how to assign a port-range, as the API doesn't have something like privateendport & publicendport. we definitely don't want to do ~130k API calls specifying all TCP/UDP ports separately. did we overlook some way of using the network source nat address as the static nat address for an instance? or some another solution to achieve the same?
