I wish that was the case the linux version has to be installed locally.
I'm not an expert but I guess "local" may be a bit different in virtualization.
If "local" requirement is from license or security issues, there are ways to completely hide the guest from outside networks (provide it only with a host-to-guest (virtual) network) and it may qualify for local, looking from the outside.
If it is from technical requirement and means non-tcp/ip, I guess there may be programmatic solutions possible between host and guest. (http://pubs.vmware.com/vmci-sdk/VMCI_intro.html)
Just thought it might be worth exploring. HTH. Regards, Ben K. Developer http://benix.tamu.edu ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
