If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting that I rely on a firewall running in the the guest OS (eg, Shorewall) to police the app. This isn't likely to be compromised, in practice, so it's a practical solution which I may adopt. However, I'd much prefer a situation in which the policing is done by external software. That would completely eliminate any chance of the app compromising the firewall... FWIW, the guest OS is Debian Linux and the host OS is likely to be either Mac OS X or Debian Linux. At 13:50 +0100 1/14/09, Frank Mehnert wrote: > Try NAT port forwarding ... I'm not sure I understand. Section 6.4.1 of the User Manual talks about forwarding selected ports TO the guest OS, but that isn't the issue here. What I want to do is make selected ports in the host OS (and ONLY them) available to the guest OS. Can I do this?
