Hi Rakesh,

If you use reverse connections, the compute nodes only need to be able to 
connect to outside machines (i.e. the workstations). Turning on NAT on a 
gateway machine, i.e. the frontend, should be sufficient for that, and no port 
forwarding is needed. This works on a standard Rocks setup, which enables the 
frontend as gateway by default.

Cheers,

Bart
