Re: default route on other subnet

        Hello.  Yes, my assumption in that mail was that you're running NetBSD
as your dom0 and that NetBSD was acting as a router/firewall for the subnet
which exists entirely inside the virtual space.  I guess you could do the
same thing with Linux, but I'm not familiar enough with the networking
tools in Linux to say whether it's reliable or easy to manage.  I prefer pf
in NetBSD, but ipfw  or pf in NetBSD should work well and give you months
and maybe even years of reliable service.
