In case of a separate network, should it not be possible to create a
dummy bridge or something and forward packets through maybe...NAT....A
guy talks of this kind of thing here
http://ghantoos.org/2007/10/24/kvmqemu-bridging-with-dummy-network-card/
but I don't quite understand it, because I am not familiar with
/etc/network/interfaces.....seems to be ubuntu or some other linux.
I am using /etc/sys-config/network-scripts/ifcfg-xxx files. or any
other forwarding system...but don't know how?
Any ideas of how to do it with separate IP addressing? The main
network is out of my control and I cannot use its IP addresses.
Rgds.
