Hello

My aim is to have a VM with 2 network interfaces, one bridged to the outside
world and the other bridged on a private network.  From the private interface
this VM runs DHCP and PXE services to start and install VM's which have one
network interface tapped on the private bridge.

All machines are centos or ubuntu guests.

I confirm that simply starting a linux guest that used the private bridge to
get a dhcp address works fine.

However, using a pxe capable boot rom, dhcp fails.  I have confirmed the
dhcp request and offer appear on both tap interfaces and the intervening
bridge interface.

I also confirm that the pxe capable boot rom works if its using the bridge
to the external network.

I have tried all the pxe boot roms available with the exact same result.

This could be a networking configuration problem or perhaps a bug somewhere
in the nic emulation or boot rom.

Any ideas for further diagnostics or solutions appreciated.

More config information below.

Thanks
Stephen
