Were you using vmware, when configuring via the vmware-config.pl command, you would get what I believe you are looking for by choosing "host only" as the network type. This (first result in google for "vmware-config network options") might be of interest:

So there is the answer to your own question?  You can use
virtualisation to create an 'appliance' that you can
test/drop/burn/whatever.

I'm sorry, I should have made clear that I already know about
virtualisation, it's the network part that I need help with: making it only
reachable from the host.

Bad ASCII-art illustration:

+-----------------------------+
|        NETWORK  +----------+|
|    HOST-------->|  GUEST   ||
|  (CLIENT)       | (SERVER) ||
|     |           |          ||
|     |           +----------+|

TO OUTSIDE NETWORK

This what I have in mind: the host is on the local network as usual, and
another one with the guest, which can not reach the host's other network
connection to the outside world.

Is this just too weird?
