Yes this approach in patch #312593 should solve the issue of redirecting the instance traffic behind a L2 gateway to an instance behind the cloud connected through a DVR router.

The issue had been in identifying the right node, where the cloud instance resides. Since DVR routers use the same router_interface address on all router_namespace in all compute nodes.

This approach will forward all traffic to the network node vxlan tunnel and hence the traffic will then be routed to the respective destination node.(east-west).

The only concern here is the asynchronous traffic. The incoming traffic from the L2 gateway will always hit the network node vxlan tunnel, but the outgoing traffic can be forwarded directly from the compute host.
