Yes, but if one was running multiple qemu guests, it would be cleaner to implement this thru vde_switch instead of in qemu directly. That way eth0 is intercepted by only a single process. (Also no worries about having permissions to intercept packets and etc for qemu - just run vde_switch as root and qemu as a regular user.) -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
