That is, all guests on the PUBLIC vswitch have the same MAC address as viewed by all hosts on the PRIVATE vswitch (and vice versa).
I don't think we do any translation. But I want to ensure that what I think is in fact consistent with reality ;-) I will rerun the experiment and post details of vswitch settings and TCP dumps to show what the MAC addresses are at various places in the communication.
