Guess yes, there's no reason against that (and this is also true for your previous suggestion about dhcp-client-identifier*). * Btw, can't that be done via sending an hostname (which probably works more easily with clients like dhcpcd, default in Gentoo) and making the server associate IPs with hostnames? Actually you don't need fixed IPs as long as you make your dhcp server be also a DNS server (I remember it can be done, not sure if it required collaboration with bind or if it could be done without bind; dnsmasq contains a DHCP + DNS server to do this, however). > I then start my UML like this: > > umlkernel ubd0=... con0=... eth0=tuntap,umltap > > inside the UML I use dhcp to get an address and > bob's your uncle.

In short, you either run UML on a private IP on a different subnet than your LAN and MASQUERADE / SNAT it with iptables, or (default) give the UML an IP on the same subnet as your LAN and use proxy ARP - i.e. when a machine in your LAN arps for your UML, let's say 192.168.1.100, your host must answer it has that IP. uml_net does that by default, but with preconfigured tap devices you must do that by hand. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
