No luck. There is only a single host(router) that is on the same network(VLAN) 
as the VR. 

I have zero issues with centOS hosts acting as VRs. Only the built in VR does 
this.

Messages is clean. I am still scratching my head in this one. It seams build 
specific to the built-in VR.

I will try and deploy a debian guest alongside the centOS ones and see if it 
has the same issue, at least that might prove out the distrobution. Then I can 
focus on the build scripts.
