Hi Jesse,

Ok.. this solution does not seem to work for me. The problem is that as soon
as I take the physical interface eth0 off the network(i.e. assign it an ip
of 0), all networking stops for me and the machine hangs. This happens every
time.
I tried the gre tunnel and that seems to work for me. But I want to know if
that can be used to connect vms in multiple subnets as well?

Thanks,
Aish
