Howdy! We had our provider install RHEL5 on our 8-core Xeon machine because it supported Xen, though it actually took us some time to get them to enable the optional, non-default "vt" channel per RH''s requirement, as Xen is not considered stable enough to be available to the default install, even via yum. In any case, I have two Windows guys running - XP and 2k3 Server - to which I hope to add Ubuntu and some other F/OSS systems, but I''m having trouble setting up the basics of NAT for the Virtual Machines. I certainly want to forward some ports, treating the loopback as DMZ for the VMs, but for now I just want outgoing to work so that Windows can update, and DeBuntu can hit APT mirrors for install / update. The Xen and Libvirt documentation are inconsistent with each other and with what I observe on RHEL5.2, I have two bridges instead of one as libvirt documentations suggests I should, and someone on #xen IRC said that this is a foible of current RHEL config. I just want to get the simplest config working, any help would be appreciated. A career F/OSS supporter, I''m always glad to pass on knowledge once I have it. Peace, and TIA!

I don''t, eh, know why I said "two Windows guys", I meant "two Windows VMs". It''s getting late. :) On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 8:58 PM, Justin Ryan <justizin@vongogo.net> wrote:> Howdy! > > We had our provider install RHEL5 on our 8-core Xeon machine because it > supported Xen, though it actually took us some time to get them to enable > the optional, non-default "vt" channel per RH''s requirement, as Xen is not > considered stable enough to be available to the default install, even via > yum. > > In any case, I have two Windows guys running - XP and 2k3 Server - to which > I hope to add Ubuntu and some other F/OSS systems, but I''m having trouble > setting up the basics of NAT for the Virtual Machines.
