js> I'm a big fan of bridging the hosts interface so that the guest js> kvm can access the LAN directly I agree that it is the best way to do set up VMs for many purposes. But I'm talking about another use for virt-managed KVM VMs: I like to simulate setups that are independent of the local network, and setups that are shut off from most of the world. (Also sometimes for quick "create, run release engineering/qa scripts, destroy" purposes.) I then like to have a rapid procedure that stands-up these configurations. For such a simulation the default NAT works well, and I'm trying to give it a transportable configuration with less volatile ip addresses and some repos.
