Yes, qemu does this by implementing NAT and the TCP stack in userspace. What always made me unhappy about this solution is that we have a perfectly fine NAT and TCP in kernel, we just lack APIs to make an unpriveledged user make use of it the way we want. I hope you can avoid this duplication. Another question is whether you want to implement a dhcp server. -- MST -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
