I seem to be missing the "right way" to put a VM on the LAN such that it
appears to really be a machine on the LAN. This is a requirement for
being able to deploy internal servers as needed.
For instance, consider a DNS server or outbound mailer at IP 10.x.y.z
and how to do that with a VM. Current I have not found a way other than
putting the IP on as an alias, like eth0:1, setting up a tunnel using a
bunch of stuff from Debian, plugging in a set of moderately complex
iptables rules, starting the VM using a bunch of obscure -nic options
unreleated to the actual IP to be provided, and generally a ton of
complexity to install and remove.
I often want to provide momentary service not requiring preserving a lot
of state, like mailers, DNS, etc. Surely there's a better way?
