NAT Port Forwarding For One Of Multiple Host IP Address

[jongarrison]

I have NAT port forwarding working fine for port 8080 of my host machine (Windows Server 2003) to port 8080 of my guest machine (ubuntu).

My next question though is how to set up forwarding for only one of the several IP Addresses that the host machine has (on one adapter). How do I get port 8080 to be forwarded for only one of the host machine's ip addresses? I've read through the documentation and searched extensively for this. I was hoping that there would be a simple key to set using vboxmanage setextradata, but I haven't found the appropriate key yet or any mention of it online.

By the way, the reason that I want to do this, is to have a server on the host machine listening on the same port, but different ip address than a server on the guest machine.

Thanks for any ideas,
Jon

That is currently not possible.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for the information

That is currently not possible.

Are you interested in a simple patch (similar to this one for qemu) that adds HostIP option?

[shervy]

is that possible ? does it exist ?

Here's a patch for 2.2.51_OSEr20451.
tcp_subr.c could use a less hackish approach but tcp_emu() shouldn't be used anyway because "XXX: libalias should care about it"

Consider posting this change on bugtracker, it might get included.
