Description

As part of the DHCP work I'm removing the obsolete outgoing_http_req test. This test was based on the days when OPTE was participating as part of an existing IPv4 network -- in this case it was particular to my home network because I had to also conjur up a new MAC address to make my router happy. I'm ripping out this old code and thus the test with it.

Write a new SNAT test (in the spirit of my newer tests such as overlay_guest_to_guest).

Research direction

Read the existing overlay_guest_to_guest test and the outgoing_http_req test before removing or replacing the obsolete coverage. Add a new test that exercises SNAT in the style of the newer test, then verify that the test passes and covers the intended SNAT behavior.
