This line isn't neccessary - AFAICT there is no forwarding off traffic
from hostonly networks to the LAN. Just set VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_NONE
for this.

This looks like a bug in our XML formatter - it shouldn't be generating
a <bridge> tag if there is no bridge :-)

The IP address is confusing me a litle here. I'm not sure why there
are two different IP addresses for the host.
In my test box I have an interface
vboxnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:76:62:6E:65:74
inet addr:192.168.56.1 Bcast:192.168.56.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::276:62ff:fe6e:6574/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:5320 (5.1 KiB)
And the XML is shown as
<ip address='192.168.56.100' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
<dhcp>
<range start='192.168.56.101' end='192.168.56.254' />
<host mac='00:76:62:6e:65:74' name='vboxnet0' ip='192.168.56.1' />
</dhcp>
</ip>
What I'd expect though, is that the IP address of the interface is
listed as the <ip address=''> tag, not as a <host> tag - the latter
is for defining static IP mapping for guest VMs. So I'd expect the
XML to loook like
<ip address='192.168.56.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
<dhcp>
<range start='192.168.56.101' end='192.168.56.254' />
</dhcp>
</ip>
But what is this second IP address virtualbox seems to have for the DHCP
server ?!?!
