Fedora xen - Jan 2007 - Re: Using a FC6 Guest as Internet gateway, proxy etc

We are doing this now and have been very happy with it. In fact, we have a VM
that is NAT routing from a private to a public subnet, which is forwarding to
another VM that is routing/transparent proxy to the internet, all through
bridged interfaces. All of our host systems are blades on the private subnet.

People, 

Now that I can create FC6 Guests running on FC6 quite happily I am 
thinking of using a very stripped down, minimal Guest as the Internet 
gateway, proxy etc for the host machine such that the Guest has the real 
IP address and the host machine is using a typical private IP address eg 
192.168.0.10 - is anyone else doing this successfully? 

Thanks, 

Phil.
