host with 2 ethernet cards strategy question
Posted: 8. Sep 2009, 23:59
Hello,
Wondering if some of you have some ideas on how to get this tricky configuration done.
Our host machine runs on Linux (CentOS) and one of our guests is WinXP Pro. The host machine has two ethernet devices (eth0, eth1) one of them (eth0) runs on a private subnet which is where the host OS gets its ip, the other (eth1) is connected to a different router that goes to the DMZ and we want to assign that exclusively to our guest OS, not to our host
If we use NAT as networking strategy that will make a big mess with the NAT translation to the guest, something we want to avoid. While using bridge looks the way to go, how can we assign a IP to the guest that it's not even an active ethernet configuration on the host?
Is it possible to accomplish this without having two separate DMZ's ips, one for our host machine? and the other for our guest OS?
Any ideas will be deeply appreciated
Thanks in advance
