Some embodiments provide a method for forwarding data messages at multiple edge gateways of a logical network that process data messages between the logical network and an external network. At a first edge gateway, the method receives a data message, having an external address as a destination address, from the logical network. Based on the destination address, the method applies a default route to the data message that routes the data message to a second edge gateway and specifies a first output interface of the first edge gateway for the data message. After routing the data message, the method applies a stored NAT entry that (i) modifies a source address of the data message to be a public NAT address associated with the first edge gateway and (ii) redirects the modified data message to a second output interface of the first edge gateway instead of the first output interface.
A method for forwarding data messages at a plurality of edge gateways of a logical network that process data messages between the logical network and an external network, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a program for execution by at least one processing unit of a host computer that implements a first edge gateway of a plurality of edge gateways of a logical network that process data messages between the logical network and an external network, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
