For our project we are using port forwarding. Our architecture is as follows :
Web Server A
Servers on which vms are hosted - H1,H2,H3 and so on
Client C
There is a VM(i,j) which is the ith vm on the jth server that is HJ. But the client fires a request to A:some-port and is served from Hj:some-other-port-on-b
This way client is not aware of the servers in the model. We maintain those rules when new machines are created as well as when old machines are deleted.

I am needing to explicitly assign VNC ports to my virtual guests so that I can connect to them externally via a VNC client, and not virt-viewer. Since I will have multiple KVM Hosts with access to the same shared storage (to facilitate migrations) I need to ensure I have unique VNC ports assigned to each guest so that I don't overlap somehow.
We have following redundancy in our architecture.
5901:server -> 5901:h1
5902:server -> 5901:h2
5903:server -> 5902:h1
5904:server -> 5901:h3
5901:server -> 5901:h1
5902:server -> 5901:h2
5903:server -> 5902:h1
5904:server -> 5901:h3
I had planned to use a range of ports starting at 51000 for this purpose. While it works to assign port 51001, for example, to a guest and connect via my VNC client, when I run 'virsh vncdisplay guestname' it gives me back a different number that is specified in the XML file:
#virsh vncdisplay win2k8guest
:45101
It should give you a port number 5900 less than. It basically assumes 5900 as the VNC port.
#virsh dumpxml win2k8guest |grep vnc
<graphics type='vnc' port='51001' autoport='no' />
Is there a logical reason for this that I'm not getting? I know when I have the port set to 5907, for example, it returns something expected:
#virsh vncdisplay win2k8guest
:7
But since I am likely going to need a good number of ports, I want to use a non-registered port range. Any insights?
