I'd like to understand how the ownership of host-only network interfaces is 
handled. It seems as if you can configure a network interface as any user and 
if you change the configuration as one user, then it does not necessarily 
change for the other user (if you list the configuration via VBoxManage list 
hostonlyifs). But because of these different concurrent configuration options, 
it does not seem to be consistent across reboots, and I don't know how to 
figure which configuration is currently active. I have the same question for 
DHCP servers managed by VBOX. It seems different users can run a differently 
configured DHCP server on the same host-only network interface? How would this 
work, if the actual IP on that interface (as seen under ifconfig) must be 
unique. So say it could potentially not be consistent with the DHCP server IP 
address configuration, because you have multiple servers on a single interface. 
Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks, Karoline
