It might be because there's a missing _enable_hairpin() call in the reboot()
function.  Try something like this...

nova/virt/libvirt/connection.py, _hard_reboot():

             self._create_new_domain(xml)
+            self._enable_hairpin(instance)
             self.firewall_driver.apply_instance_filter(instance, network_info)

At least that's what I remember doing myself recently when testing after a
reboot, don't know about snapshot.

Folsom has changed enough that something different would need to be done there.
