I am not yet entirely sure how I want to connect my VMs to the outside world, but it seems like two variations that would be interesting, but are not trivial to achieve, would be:
1) NAT connecting an "internal net" to the outside. This would be kind of a combination of the "NAT" setting and the "Internal Network" setting, where N virtual machines would all be on the same virtual network, using private IP addresses, with a NAT connection to the outside world. 2) Router connecting an "internal net" to the outside. Sort of a combination of "host interface" and "Internal Network". N virtual machines would be connected to the same virtual subnet, using public IP addresses, with a virtual router connecting that network to the outside world. It seems like you can do these by having a VM act as a router or NAT - that is, it would have one interface set to "Host Interface" or "NAT", and the other set to "Internal Network", running some sort of routing or NAT software in the VM. That seems pretty heavyweight, though - it seems like VirtualBox should supply this sort of virtual network infrastructure. Is there some combination that I'm missing that would allow these two configurations to be created easily? _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
